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

I'm trying to get the current time via DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")

However, this is spitting out a time 12 hours off of what we want.

For example:

What it spits out: 11/14/2011 2:24:56 am

What we want: 11/14/2011 2:24:56 pm

What noob mistake are we making?

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

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.
