I am trying to get the current date time in a specific millisecond format and having issues. I have tried following another post in here and it just isn't coming to me. It is putting the .123000 and not the millisecond time and can't get the PM/AM part. Any help is appreciated

This is output I would like for the current time it is being run:
12/24/2015 12:39:32.037626 PM

This is what I have
someDate = date()
someTime = time()
MS = 123

someDT = timestamp(someDate, someTime)

someDTMS = someDT.dateTimeAdjust(MS, "milliseconds")

emit someDate, someTime, someDT, someDTMS

someDate someTime someDT someDTMS
2015-12-24 13:33:37 2015-12-24 13:33:37 2015-12-24 13:33:37.123000

When you call timestamp(), the datetime object that is created has resolution of milliseconds, but the time that is being pulled from the OS only goes to seconds. So if you cast the datetime object (from 'timestamp()') as a long integer, you'll note that the last three digits are always 0's.

The easiest way I can think of is using the Python node and using 'strftime' to extract the millisecond portion of the system time.

To format the datetime in the format you listed above, I would break out the individual components and stitch them together. The AM/PM portion would be calculated.
