As you are using /bin/sh you need to use the date program:

Code:
mv "${file_name}" "${file_name}"_$(date +'%m%d%Y')

You can get hold of the access time, modification time and change time of a file using stat if you have it:
Code:
stat -c "%y" "${file_name}"

Gnu date also has a switch to show the last modification timestamp of a file:
Code:
date -r "${file_name}"

which is probably the closest you will get on a Linux/Unix system to the creation time. So you could possibly use:
Code:
mv "${file_name}" "${file_name}"_$(date -c "${file_name}"  +'%m%d%Y')
