There is a better way to solove this using DateTimePicker

 dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
 dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm";

Best that can be done with MaskedTextbox is by setting following Mask

 maskedTextBox1.Mask = "00/00/0000 00:00 AM"

Then again all of the validations have to be hand written by you.

According MS specification from here, you cannot specify such format. The most nearest meaning mask for your request would be 00\/00\/0000 90:00 \AM
