ONE way could be to have a checkbox field with default value as True. Then, whenever the record is updated for the first time, you write a workflow field update on time stamp field, which will update the time stamp field if this checkbox is true. And also in the same workflow rule, have another field update which will update the checkbox to false.

I am not sure about this one but check if you can use the PRIORVALUE() function with the CreatedDAte and LastModifiedDate field. If yes, then you can have a formula field which compares last modified date and created date. If prior value of last modified date is equal to CreatedDAte then copy the current value of last modified date to time stamp field.
