Unless you have a non-Posix flavour of date you'll have the dickens of a time trying to work magic with date arithmetic. If all you want is the wall clock time (real time) that a process (script, or programme) took to run then try this:
What I have done in the past is to write a simple C programme that prints the current time as an integer and use that to capture the time before and after a series of commands. Not all that accurate, but if your commands are running for a few minutes then the time to load and execute the little programme twice can be neglected. It was also quicker to do that than to dork round with date and time when AT&T AST or GNU tools aren't available.

script
script(1) User Commands script(1)NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
