you can achieve it by onChnage cleint script on that check box.

if it's checked then set the today's date.

Please try below.

onChange client script on you checkbox,

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

  if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

  return;

  }

  //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

  var ajax = new GlideAjax('MyDateTimeAjax');

  ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'nowDateTime');

  ajax.getXML(ajaxResponse);

  function ajaxResponse(serverResponse) {

  var answer = serverResponse.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

  if(<your checkbox field name>== true)

  {

  g_form.setValue('your field name', answer);

  }

  }

}

script include:

var MyDateTimeAjax = Class.create();

MyDateTimeAjax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

      nowDateTime: function () {

              return gs.nowDateTime();

      },  

      type: 'MyDateTimeAjax'

});
