The anytime package (on CRAN) does this (and other date or datetime input
variants) without requiring a format:

  R> library(anytime)
  R> anytime("01-01-2016T14:02:23.325")
  [1] "2016-01-01 14:02:23.325 CST"

How does it decide between MDY and DMY orderings in dates? Doesn't matter for this example, but it would for "01-02-2016T14:02:23.325"
