Hi HemanthB-9452,
You can use DateTimePicker.CustomFormat property to set the custom date/time format string.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
{  
    dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;  
    dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "MM'/'dd'/'yyyy hh':'mm tt";  
}  

And the "tt" character is read as a two-letter AM/PM format string.
More details please refer to this document.
Best Regards,
Daniel Zhang
