I wouldn't worry about that, just try to verify that timestamps with the
default get NOW() and timestamps without the default get all NULL.

But anyway, you can know the moment the query was executed by creating
another column of DATETIME or CHAR/VARCHAR type, and explicitly
inserting NOW() into it:

  INSERT t1 (datetime_column) VALUES (NOW());
