I need to use _ symbol between date and time like:

maim Pictures/Screenshots/Maim_Screenshot_$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S").png

Maim actually has the bare minimum of parsing to read args, it uses cxxopts to parse. What shell are you using?

I'd recommend trying maim "Pictures/Screenshots/Maim_Screenshot_$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S").png" to make sure your shell isn't changing the arg.
