Try using the time functions from the C Runtime library. Things like time() and difftime() can be used to calculate the timespans and localtime() will convert to a structure for ease of detecting the pieces.
Most of these functions return a time_t datatype which is the number of seconds since midnight 1/1/1970. Unless you're doing something out of the ordinary or need sub-second precision, these functions should be able to work nicely.
