Building on @CodeDada answer, try

.ToUniversalTime().ToString("u");

This first converts to Universal (zulu) time, then formats the output correctly including the Z suffix

The Answer is 

.ToUniversalTime()

it converts the date time to Zulu time zone format as it is a part of UTC Time Zone(Zulu time zone is -UTC +0 )

The example mentioned in This MSDN article did not mention about 'Z'(Zulu time zone indication) but this method does convert to Zulu time zone.
