The date command automatically adds the newline at the end of the command. To remove this newline you could do:
date | tr -d 'n' >> file.txt && echo -n "new data" >> file.txt
This will remove any newlines from the date output.

As long as "new data" doesn't contain anything which has meaning as adateformatting code,date +"%c new data" >>file.txtmight be more idiomatic.

Solution with removing newline character using substitution.
$ d=$(date)
$ echo -n $d >> file
$ echo " <- this is date" >> file
$ cat file
Mon Feb 4 07:08:21 CET 2019 <- this is date

Another option, for the case where "new data" is static:
printf '%s new datan' "$(date)" >> file.txt
For the situation where "new data" could vary:
