How to append timestamp in the filenames using find?

Hi,

How to change the filenames with timestamp in sub folders
I have the following code to select the records.

Code:
find . -type f -name '*pqr*' -ctime 1 -print

The following is the example
Code:
app_root_dir="/`echo $ScriptDir | cut -d'/' -f2`"

$app_root_dir/../BadFiles directory
uvw.bad
xyz.bad
mno.bad

$app_root_dir/../TgtFiles directory
uvw.out
xyz.out
mno.out

I like to rename those files with ..
Code:
$app_root_dir/../BadFiles directory
uvw.20130712163028.bad
xyz.20130712163028.bad
mno.20130712163028.bad

$app_root_dir/../TgtFiles directory
uvw.20130712163028.out
xyz.20130712163028.out
mno.20130712163028.out

I already have dt=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`


I have to rename the filenames as in each environment my path(folder name) differs.

Appreciate advice on other commands/options to use.
