Hey Mahlon,
Did you change the picker option in the datetime object to time or leave it as Date? By default it is set to Date. If you leave it as Date and change the formatting then you will most likely get an error. In my screenshot below i made 3 DateTime objects and set the picker to Date, Time and DateTime to show you.
