Display date and time

I am using ASP/VB and on my page I am trying to display the date and time, I am using: <% =now %>
And that is great but it shows 9/18/2015 9:00:00 AM
And I need for it to be: 09/18/2015 9:00:00

And if its 8 pm it should be: 09/18/2015 20:00:00

I am not sure how to do this.

I actually have the following script, but its giving me an error when I try to display the value:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function d2(n) { return n>9?n:"0"+n; }

function todayStr() {
     var today=new Date()
     return d2(today.getMonth()+1)+"/"+d2(today.getDate())+"/"+(today.getYear())+" "+ (formatAMPM(today))
} 

function formatAMPM(date) {
  var hours = date.getHours();
  var minutes = date.getMinutes();
  var seconds = date.getSeconds();
  var ampm = hours >= 12 ? 'PM' : 'AM';
  hours = hours % 12;
  hours = hours ? hours : 12; // the hour '0' should be '12'
  minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0'+minutes : minutes;
  var strTime = hours + ':' + minutes +':'+ seconds + ' ' + ampm;
  return strTime;
}

</script

Open in new window

Displaying:

value="<%=todayStr()%>"

Error: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'todayStr'

I am not sure how to do that. I took out the time but still got the same issue.

Can someone please help with the script ? I can't seem to make that one work. I don't mind using a new one if needed.

This worked:

<% function todayStr()
dim theDate, theDay, theMonth
theDate = FormatDateTime( now, 2)

theMonth = Month(theDate)
if CInt( theMonth ) < 10 then theMonth = "0" & theMonth

theDay = Day( theDate )
if CInt( theDay ) < 10 then theDay = "0" & theDay

todayStr = theMonth & "/" & theDay & "/" & Year(theDate)&" "&formatdatetime(now,3)
end function
%>
