    Double up the quotes

    DECLARE @QUERY VARCHAR(8000) 
SET @QUERY='SELECT DATENAME(MM,getdate())+RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),getdate(),107),9)+SUBSTRING(CONVERT (VARCHAR(20),getdate(),100),12,6) + '' ''+ RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),getdate(),100),2) AS CurrentDate' 
EXECUTE (@QUERY)

    But why is this dynamic? Just run it in line

    SELECT
   DATENAME(MM,getdate())+
   RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),getdate(),107),9)+
   SUBSTRING(CONVERT (VARCHAR(20),getdate(),100),12,6) + 
   ' '+
   RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),getdate(),100),2) AS CurrentDate

    Or format in the client code…
