For 24 hr format try...

 NSLocale *locale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"NL"];
 [self.datePicker setLocale:locale];

Depends on locale, but you could build your own date picker.

Date format depends of your device locale settings.

Although it's not recommended in most cases, you can override locale settings:

For example this gives you 24h format:

self.datePicker.locale = [NSLocale localeWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_GB"];

and this 12h format with PM/AM

self.datePicker.locale = [NSLocale localeWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"];

We can Customise only current date will be in 24hrs format if user set means as per iOS device settings .. Otherwise we can set like this

NSDate *currDate = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];

NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:currDate];

_todayDateLbl.text=dateString;
#pragma get current time

dateFormatter.dateFormat = @"hh:mm a";
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];
NSLog(@"The Current Time is %@",[dateFormatter stringFromDate:currDate]);

You just cannot set the 12/24 format.

It depends on user's setting on their iOS device.
