Timestamp only works with UTC. So you may do this:

Timestamp.FromDateTime(DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Now, DateTimeKind.Utc)));

Use protobuf's Timestamp.FromDateTime. Following is the example of converting DateTime.Now to proto timestamp type.

Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes.Timestamp protoTimestamp 
    = Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes.Timestamp.FromDateTime(DateTime.Now);
