Default How to customize =Now()

Now is a function. Functions return values. They do not affect the format of
the cell that they are placed in. If you want a different format you need to
format the cell you put the function in.

How do you customize the =Now() so that it is in the format of dd/mm/yy and
hh:mm:ss instead of dd/mm/yyyy and hh:mm (military time). I am trying to have
an elapsed time with the now time minus the start time which is in the form
of mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss. Will it give the correct elapsed time if it is in the
current format.
