Hi Naveen,
Did you tried the fromat method?

DateTime.Now().format("yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ");

Hi Prateek,

  Can you please also help me in converting this format to AST, as the expected datetime is in AST and we getting time in GMT.
Expected:
2014-01-01T00:00:00.015-04:00

Above code gives the follwing format.
DateTime.Now().format('yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSSXXX');==>2016-08-16T10:09:38.813+05:30.

Really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

hi Naveen,
The format() method accepts timezone as second parameter. Just add the timezone as a parameter

DateTime.Now().format('yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSSXXX','AST')
