I want to create a VF page with a field for Date picker and another field for time picker but I dont want to hardcode anything. Could anyone please help? I want the date/time picker same as Lightning UI datetime picker

Raj VakatiRaj Vakati
Use this page  like below and create two fields on object one with the date and other is time data type

 
<apex:page standardController="Delivery__c" lightningStylesheets="true">
    <apex:slds />
    <body class="slds-scope">
        
        <apex:form>
            <apex:pageBlock>
                <apex:pageBlockSection>
                    <apex:inputField  value="{!delivery__c.Date__c}" />
                    <apex:inputField  value="{!delivery__c.Time__c}"/>
                    
                </apex:pageBlockSection>
            </apex:pageBlock>
        </apex:form>
    </body>
</apex:page>

Hi Prema,
Create a lightning component with type datetime and render the component on VF page.Then you can get the selected datetime from VF page using Events
<lightning:input type="datetime" name="input1" label="Enter a date/time value" />
This is what i have acheived(it's lightning component rendered on VF page)

VF Page:
<apex:page showHeader="false" sidebar="false" id="pg1" >
    <apex:includeLightning />
    <apex:form >
        <div id="datetime">            
        </div>
        <div id="lightning" style="float:left"></div>       
        
    </apex:form>
    
    <script>        
    $Lightning.use("c:RD_DateTimeAPP", function() {
        $Lightning.createComponent("c:ShowContacts", {}, "lightning", function(){
            $A.eventService.addHandler({ "event": "c:lightningAppExternalEvent", "handler" : VFEventHandler});
            
        });
    });
    
    function VFEventHandler(event){
        console.log('event is handled by VF page function');
        var myEventData = event.getParam("selectedDatetime");
        document.getElementById("datetime").value =myEventData;
    }
    </script>
</apex:page>

Component:
<aura:component
                access="global">  
     <aura:attribute name="selectedDT" type="datetime"/>    
    <aura:registerEvent name="lightningAppExternalEvent" type="c:lightningAppExternalEvent" />
    
    <div class="row">
        <h2 class="header">Shot date and time</h2>
        <lightning:input type="datetime" name="input1" 
                         onchange="{! c.callExternalFunction }" value="{!v.selectedDT}" />
    </div>
</aura:component>
Controller:
callExternalFunction : function(component, event, helper){    
            var mydatetime = component.get("v.selectedDT");
            console.log('Inside lightning controller function-->callExternalFunction');
            var lightningAppExternalEvent = $A.get("e.c:lightningAppExternalEvent");
            lightningAppExternalEvent.setParams({
            'selectedDatetime':mydatetime
            });
            lightningAppExternalEvent.fire();
    }
APP:
<aura:application extends="ltng:outApp">
//Refer your component
     <c:RD_DateTime />
</aura:application>
Event:
<aura:event type="APPLICATION"  >
       <aura:attribute name="selectedDatetime" type="datetime"/>
</aura:event>


I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does mark as best answer to help others too.

Hi Prema,

You can create a datetime  picker in VF Page as follows:
<apex:page standardController="Event" extensions="ControlleurEvent" showHeader="true">
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.TimePicker, 'jquery.timepicker.css')}"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{!URLFOR($Resource.TimePicker, 'jquery.timepicker.js')}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{!URLFOR($Resource.TimePicker, 'lib/bootstrap-datepicker.js')}"></script>
  <apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.TimePicker, 'lib/bootstrap-datepicker.css')}"/>
<script>
j$= jQuery.noConflict();
    j$(function(){
       j$("[id$='startDateHour']").timepicker({ 'timeFormat': 'H:i' });
       j$("[id$='endDateHour']").timepicker({ 'timeFormat': 'H:i' });
                
        j$('#setHour').click(function(){
        j$("[id$='startDateHour']").val('{!startHour}');
        sd = j$("[id$='startDateHour']").val();
        sds = sd.split(":");
        var d = new Date();
        d.setHours(sds[0]);
        d.setMinutes(sds[1]);
        d.setHours(d.getHours() + 1);
        var h = d.getHours();
        h = ("0" + h).slice(-2);
        var m = d.getMinutes();
        m = ("0" + m).slice(-2);
        end = h+":"+m;  
        j$("[id$='endDateHour']").val(end);              
        });
        
        j$("[id$='startDateHour']").change(function(){
        sd = j$("[id$='startDateHour']").val();
        sds = sd.split(":");
        var d = new Date();
        d.setHours(sds[0]);
        d.setMinutes(sds[1]);
        d.setHours(d.getHours() + 1);
        var h = d.getHours();
        h = ("0" + h).slice(-2);
        var m = d.getMinutes();
        m = ("0" + m).slice(-2);
        end = h+":"+m;  
        j$("[id$='endDateHour']").val(end);                     
        });    
        
        j$("[id$='dateField']").focus(function(){ 
            DatePicker.pickDate(false,this, false);
            var newd = j$("[id$='dateField']").val();
            j$("[id$='enddate']").val(newd);          
        });    
        
        j$("[id$='enddate']").focus(function(){ 
            DatePicker.pickDate(false,this, false);    
        });
                
        j$('#setendHour').click(function(){
        j$("[id$='endDateHour']").val('{!startHour}');                  
        });    
});

And the controller goes like:

        endDate = startDate;
        String hour = '0'+Datetime.now().time().hour();

        startHour = hour.right(2)+':'+minute.right(2);
        endHour = getEnd();
        retURL = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('retURL');

        event.WhatId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('what_Id');
                    
    }
     public String getEnd(){
         String[] hm = startHour.split(':');         
         Time t = Time.newInstance(Integer.valueOf(hm[0]), Integer.valueOf(hm[1]), 0, 0) ;

            Date myDate = Date.newInstance(Integer.valueOf(d[2]), Integer.valueOf(d[1]), Integer.valueOf(d[0]));

            myTime = Time.newInstance(Integer.valueOf(hm[0]), Integer.valueOf(hm[1]), 0, 0);
            event.EndDateTime = DateTime.newInstance(myDate, myTime);
            
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            
        }
        
        PageReference eventPage = new ApexPages.StandardController(controller.getRecord()).view();
        eventPage.setRedirect(true);
        return eventPage;
    }
    
    public PageReference cancel(){
        return controller.cancel();
    }
}
