import { Timestamp } from '@firebase/firestore-types';
Here Timestamp is just a type, if you want to get the current time just use
var now = new Date(;

JS Date objects do get saved as timestamps in Firestore/firebase:
ref.update({ updatedAt: new Date() })
// results in timestamp in Firestore

This is the actual answer
Using serverTimestamp() method to update the Timestamp object
import {serverTimestamp } from 'firebase/firestore';
ref.update({ updatedAt: serverTimestamp() })
// results in timestamp in Firestore

Don't use Timestamp from firestore-types. The one you can use is available in firestore.
Use
import { Timestamp } from "@firebase/firestore";
instead of
import { Timestamp } from "@firebase/firestore-types";
Then you can use: Timestamp.fromDate(new Date());
