You can parse date & time in the user's time zone:

date = '2017-11-03'
time = Time.now
Time.zone = current_user.time_zone

required = Time.zone.parse(date + ' ' + time.strftime('%H:%M:%S'))

date = "2017-11-03"
user_date = date.to_datetime
zone = current_user.time_zone
user_date.in_time_zone(zone)

for example: -

"2017-11-03".to_datetime.in_time_zone("Chennai")
=> Fri, 03 Nov 2017 05:30:00 IST +05:30
