Get date and time from server

I have a website based on MVC and I am using DateTime.Now for time operations like countdowns. But sometimes there can be a difference between users' devices and the server. For example:

Device time: 12/4/2019 4:22:46 PM

Server time: 12/4/2019 4:22:38 PM

And this time difference is a huge problem for me. I've searched and couldn't find anything about it, but is there any way to get server's date and time?

PS: This can be done via javascript or jQuery, either.

You can use on the server side the DateTime.Now function and pass to the web page by inserting it into ViewData["Time"] and when you load the web page compare it with the javascript Date.Now() function on page load.
