Creating Filename using DATE in command file

Question

I am attempting to create filenames in a command file using the DATE command.  However, I want to change the format from day mm-dd-yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd and remove the day.  Here is an example: Webcam-2018-07-12.  Currently the DATE would make this Webcam-Thu 07-12-2018.  I found a bat file that has this code in it: %DATE:/=_% and can create the file name using this but not in the date format I wish to use.  Is there a way to change the date format so I can obtain the format that I wish to use?  Please help!

I'm rusty on .bat files, but in PowerShell, the following will give you the string you want:

get-date -Uformat "%Y-%m-%d"
