First, assign your controller to the desired TextField like controller: amount .

Second, add amount.text = '$date'; in your setState()

  DateTime date;
  final amount = TextEditingController();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Card(
      child: Column(
        children: <Widget>[
          TextField(
            decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Amount'),
          ),
          Row(
            children: <Widget>[
              Expanded(
                child: TextField(
                  controller: amount,
                  decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Date'),
                ),
              ),
              RaisedButton(
                color: Colors.blue,
                child: Text(
                  'Get Date',
                  style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
                ),
                onPressed: () => setState(
                  () {
                    date = DateTime.now();
                    amount.text = '$date';
                  },
                ),
              )
            ],
          )
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
