open Cortana   select the  ' hamburger' icon on the top left  and then  select notebook  you'll find the setting there and it works fine on my   windows phone 950

I cannot find the option for setting any kind of date in QH in wp10. How do I set this date?

Why would Microsoft think someone would look in "Notebook" to set quiet hours.  The previous version for 8.1 had a list of categories that related to the settings within them.  It's common sense.  Programmers and project supervisors are not real people.  They see the product from the inside not the outside as we do.  This is why good companies hire human factor engineers and psychologists to ensure the products interface well with the people using them.  After being with Microsoft products since the mid '80s, I never felt this was a top priority with a company that relied on selling features being the hallmark of their success.  Every so often you see something elegant, you wish they would stick with it and just improve it, but somehow enough things get trashed in the next revision to irritate a significant number of people.

BTW Live tiles is the best metaphore I've ever seen for tablet devices and phones.  The competitors are stuck with icon based interfaces that go back to the 90's.  However, people prefer these.  Keeping the desktop seemed to be a solution, but the integration and ease of use between both seemed to turn off many people.   Who has time to be FORCED to learn new BASICS every revision.

Au contraire, I don't think the 'lack of grasp' is with myself or others. I have extensively searched for a solution to this software fault on the internet, here and elsewhere, read tens of meters of threads and have seen a variety of proposed solutions to the matter. It has not been easy to frame search terms that actually locate putative solutions with reasonable accuracy. It is significant that information has had to be sought outside of Microsoft itself as its supposed support site, b2x.com, has no cognisance of this widely experienced problem. I have carefully tried your solution, which may well work on the Windows 950 phone, along with other suggested solutions (all from outside Microsoft) and it (they) simply do(es) not work on my Windows 530 phone (W10). Neither does it solve the same problem on a Windows 520 phone (W8.1).  The issue may well be one of firmware, architecture, hardware or software, but it certainly is not one with the wetware.  Many of the proposed solutions I have found make reference to functions that seem not to exist, or are so well buried in the OS as to defy discovery.  Clicking the 'hamburglar' icon from Cortana Home  provides no help whatsoever as the breakthrough function set up here is the actual source of the problem - it keeps loosing the dratted data after anything from a few hours to a couple of days.  My stress is caused by the fact of originally having discovered this fault when a close relative was critically ill in ITU and a sleepless night could have been allayed had a text message 'broken through' in the middle of night.  As it was, the lost (lack of) break through list blocked the text, which I did not discover until the morning. (Stress: that state of mind when you want to choke the living daylights out of someone and can't actually do it - in this case the incompetent design/software engineer(s) who created the problem and don't take ownership of solving it.)  I'm not looking for a super-doper all-singing all-dancing hand held computing device capable of beaming me up to the ISS, all I want is a slightly smart phone to make/receive calls, send texts, read emails, lightly surf the web (mostly done via my home network) and store a bit of music for when I'm in the mood.  I'm saving my pennies for a non-Windows phone that will do just that with my existing call package. End of rant - I'm off to find a cool, dark, quiet room to lie down in.
