Alternatively you can also do this...

=a1+b1

and format the same as mm\dd\yy hh:mm by right click format cells-->custom and enter your format there..

Assuming your 3 columns are A2(mm/dd/yy), B2(hh)  and C2(mm),
then formula to concatenate all three is as follows:

=TEXT(A2,"mm/dd/yyyy" )&" "& RIGHT("00" & B2,2) & ":" & RIGHT("00" & C2,2)
