I changed your smart quotes (probably from Word) to normal quotes.
I fixed the first closing tag for strong.
And this displays the date and time.

<!DOCTYPE html>

 <html lang="en">
       <head>
             <title>Displaying Time and Dates</title>
       </head>

       <body>
             <h1>Current Date and Time</h1>
       <script type="text/javascript">
       now = new Date();
       localtime = now.toString();
       utctime = now.toGMTString();
       document.write("<p><strong>Local time:</strong> "+ localtime + "</p>");
       document.write("<p><strong>UTC time:</strong> " + utctime + "</p>");
       </script>
       </body>
 </html>
