working Perfect

NSString *dateString = @" ";
NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter1 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
dateFormatter1.dateFormat = @"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS";
NSDate *yourDate = [dateFormatter1 dateFromString:dateString];
dateFormatter1.dateFormat = @"dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss";
NSLog(@"%@",[dateFormatter1 stringFromDate:yourDate]);

Rule of Date formatter is you must set date format same like your string while you are getting date from string , if mismatch then you will get null
