Default Concatenate including a date so that the date appears as a date

Try this...

A1 = Today's date is

=A1&" "&TEXT(NOW(),"m/d/yyyy h:mm AM/PM")

Will return something like:

Today's date is 1/6/2010 1:08 PM

When I try to join the contents of several cells, one of which is a date
and
time obtained from =now(), the date and time part appears as a number.
How
can I make it appear as a date and time? I have tried changing the cell
formats - probably there is a combination that works but I haven't found
it.
I also tried copying the original date cell to another cell and changing
the
latter cell's format and concatenating using that latter cell, but still
no
success.
