Assume B2 and C2 are text value

=CONCATENATE(A2,B2,"_",SUBSTITUTE(C2,"-",""))

Try:
=A2 & B2 & "_" & SUBSTITUTE(C2, "-", "")

I'm assuming C2 is a true Excel date in the format yyyy-mm-dd

=A2&B2&"_"&TEXT(C2,"yyyymmdd")

If you need to get rid of the parenthesis in the cells then try
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2&B2,"(",""),")","")&"_"&S UBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(C2,"(",""),")","") ,"-","")
