It sounds to me as if you need to go learn some more general things
about shells and how command lines are parsed.  The fact that you
have to ask about this ...

Yes, it's due to the whitespace.

} well i kinda want it there because it's superneat.

You can't always get what you want.

The closest you're going to get is this:

PROMPT=$'%{\e[01;34m%}(%{\e[22;34m%}%n%{\e[01;30m%}@'
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;34m%}%m%{\e[01;34m%})%{\e[01;34m%}%{\e[01;34m%}('
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;34m%}%D{%H:%M}%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;34m%}%D{%m/%d/%y}'
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[01;34m%})%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%}%{\n%}%{\e[01;34m%}('
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;34m%}%#%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;34m%}%~%{\e[01;34m%})'
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%} '
