Instead of using process builder you can use the formula field to populate value on certain condition.

1) DAY / MONTH / YEAR : easy.
2) Correct hours with the right TZoffset : very tricky : https://success.salesforce.com/answers?id=9063A000000iU8pQAE
"Start Date:" &
TEXT(MONTH(DATEVALUE ([Opportunity].Date_Time_Start__c ))) &"/" &
TEXT(DAY(DATEVALUE ([Opportunity].Date_Time_Start__c )))&"/" &
TEXT(YEAR(DATEVALUE ([Opportunity].Date_Time_Start__c )))

In fact, the date times (always GMT values) should be used directly without this formatting into formula as far as possible (just Visualforce Date formatting).

"Start Date:" &
TEXT(MONTH(DATEVALUE ( CreatedDate ))) &"/" &
TEXT(DAY(DATEVALUE ( CreatedDate )))&"/" &
TEXT(YEAR(DATEVALUE ( CreatedDate ))) & " " &
TEXT(HOUR(TIMEVALUE(CreatedDate ))) &":"&
TEXT(MINUTE(TIMEVALUE(CreatedDate )))
Result:
Start Date:3/25/2018 20:14
