Hello,
Greetings from Turkey.
As a new user of Cinnamon, if possible, I would like to see date and time information with two lines on the panel, like this:

Hello again,
The solution:
1- Go to:
/home/user_name/.cinnamon/configs/[email protected] folder
2- Open the .json file
3- At custom-format section, change the value to:
"%e.%b.%a \n %H:%M:%S"
or
" %H:%M:%S \n%e.%b.%a"
(inclued double-quotes)
which you want to prefer. You'll see the changes immediately. No need to restart o log-off.

Without having to edit the file, you can copy/paste the newline character.

It isn't aligned.
On your theme CSS, find .applet-label and use text-align: center

Without having to edit the file, you can copy/paste the newline character.

Just in case you are wondering what the newline character is in that case (like I did), it is %n (see here).
