If you don't understand the scripts you're given here; ask questions. I haven't seen any of the volunteers here who were unwilling to explain how their code worked if anyone bothered to ask.
Your description of your input files is a little bit sparse. Making the assumptions:
Some timestamps might not appear in all input files.
The first file processed containing a given timestamp might not contain four fields.
The output should have a minimum of 6 fields.
If the output for a given timestamp doesn't include 5 fields (after adding the date to the start of the line), an empty field should be added and the final field should be 100.
With these assumptions, you could try the following code:
If we add an additional input file (named File04) to those you had before:
then running the above script today produces the output:
Does this do what you want?
Is there anything in this awk script you don't understand?

Hello,
I'm back again looking for your precious help-
This time I need to merge two text files with matching two fields, output only common records with mixed output.
Let's look at the example:

join
JOIN(1) General Commands Manual JOIN(1)NAME
join - relational database operator
SYNOPSIS
join [ options ] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
Join forms, on the standard output, a join of the two relations specified by the lines of file1 and file2. If file1 is `-', the standard
input is used.
File1 and file2 must be sorted in increasing ASCII collating sequence on the fields on which they are to be joined, normally the first in
each line.
There is one line in the output for each pair of lines in file1 and file2 that have identical join fields. The output line normally con-
sists of the common field, then the rest of the line from file1, then the rest of the line from file2.
Fields are normally separated by blank, tab or newline. In this case, multiple separators count as one, and leading separators are dis-
carded.
These options are recognized:
-an In addition to the normal output, produce a line for each unpairable line in file n, where n is 1 or 2.
-e s Replace empty output fields by string s.
-jn m Join on the mth field of file n. If n is missing, use the mth field in each file.
-o list
Each output line comprises the fields specifed in list, each element of which has the form n.m, where n is a file number and m is a
field number.
-tc Use character c as a separator (tab character). Every appearance of c in a line is significant.
SEE ALSO sort(1), comm(1), awk(1)BUGS
With default field separation, the collating sequence is that of sort -b; with -t, the sequence is that of a plain sort.
The conventions of join, sort, comm, uniq, look and awk(1) are wildly incongruous.
