Batch Rename using Apple Script

Would love to name and rename variants like this using Apple Script;

Capture Name format is to be "[Capture Name]_[3DigitCounter]"
ex) XXXXXXXXXXXXX_001, XXXXXXXXXXXXX_031, XXXXXXXXXXXXX_257

Batch Rename is to be "[Capture Name]_A_[Current Time (HH)][Current Time (mm)][Current Time (ss)]"
ex) XXXXXXXXXXXXX_A_201232 ,XXXXXXXXXXXXX_A_201541, XXXXXXXXXXXXX_A_210638

Can somebody help??
Many thanks.

  What you need here can be done mixing text and Tokens; you don't necessarily need AppleScript for it...

  Jim
  
  Thanks for the reply.
  With your proposal,
  
  XXXXXXXXXXXXX_001.RAW is to be renamed as XXXXXXXXXXXXX_001_A_082035.RAW
  
  Would love to delete "_001" at the same time.
  That is why I would like to put [Capture Name] into the Batch Rename setting.
  Any ideas using text&tokes or AppleScript??
  
  Best,

  Oh. You will need a script to trim original file name then...
  
  Unless - what is [Capture Name] or where is it derived from? If the parent folder of the files was named the same, you could use [image folder name] token in the batch rename.

  Jim,
  
  Parent folder is just Capture as default.
  
  Capture Name Format: [Capture Name]_[4DigitCounter]
  Capture Name: 123456_789A123B_12
  
  Batch Rename Format: [Job Name]_A_[Current Time (HH)][Current Time (mm)][Current Time (ss)]
  Job Name: 123456_789A123B_12 --same as Capture Name
  
  Is there any way to rename like that using Apple Script?
  
  Best,
