Get current date and time in custom module and save that in database in magento 2

Question

I wanted to get the current date and time as created_at. I have tried all the ways I found on google but nothing works for me. It showing error while running my module.

   use Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory; 
protected $_timezone;
    /**
     * @param \Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context $context
     */
    public function __construct(
        Context $context,
        \Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\DateTimeFactory $timezone,
        PageFactory $resultPageFactory
    ) {
        $this->_timezone = $timezone;
        $this->resultPageFactory = $resultPageFactory;
        return parent::__construct($context,$resultPageFactory);
    }
public function execute()
    {
        $date = $this->_timezone->gmtDate();
        echo $date; die;
}

But when i am using i am getting this error: Magento\Framework\ObjectManager\Factory\Compiled->create('Neo\Demo\Control...', array()) called at [vendor/magento/framework/ObjectManager/ObjectManager.php:56]

        PageFactory $resultPageFactory
    ) {
