It sounds like you are at the stage of using the thbook as a reference.

I've not tried this, but my first attempt would be to override the token
registers as described on the wiki

You probably want the token

 \topodate

The longer list is on page 68 of the thbook

The layout commands, thbooke page 49 on, gives a good indication of what
is available without getting into code. North <true/grid> are the
options, default is true
