    In batch there is no advanced command substitution.

    You could however do:

    FOR /F "tokens=* delims=" %%I IN ('echo %date%') DO echo %%I
    

    (use single percent signs if in interactive mode, double percent signs in a .bat or .cmd).

    If you want backquotes:

    FOR /F "usebackq tokens=* delims=" %%I IN (`echo %date%`) DO echo %%I
    

    So:

    FOR /F "usebackq tokens=* delims=" %%I IN (`bla bla bla`) DO SET blablaresult=%%I
    echo %date%%time%%blablaresult%
