Use HH for 24 hour hours format   DateTime Now ToString  yyyy-MM-dd HH mm ss     Or the tt format specifier for the AM PM part   DateTime Now ToString  yyyy-MM-dd hh mm ss tt     Take a look at the custom Date and Time format strings documentation

With C 6 0 you also have a new way of formatting date when using string interpolation e g      DateTime Now yyyy-MM-dd HH mm ss     Can t say its any better  but it is slightly cleaner if including the formatted DateTime in a longer string   More about string interpolation

[.net] DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss") is returning AM time instead of PM time?
