Solution 1

The 113 tells the convert to use a 24 hour format.
If you use 109, you will get a 12 hour format with AM/PM.

SQL

SELECT REPLACE(SUBSTRING(convert(varchar, getdate(), 113),0,12),' ','/')+
        SUBSTRING(RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(26), GETDATE(), 109),14),0,6) AS TEST1

SELECT REPLACE(SUBSTRING(convert(varchar, getdate(), 113),0,12),' ','/')+
        RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(26), GETDATE(), 109),14) AS TEST2

--Just replace getdate in above query with

ReceivedMessages.ReceivedDateTime

--TEST1 will give output without AM/PM whereas TEST2 will append AM/PM to the date
