See here for the time format variables
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Commontimeformatvariables

Assuming the date is month/day/year and the time is a 12 hour clock (not 24 hour as you say), try
TIME_FORMAT = %m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p

If its 24 hours, why does it have a AM/PM ? 16:00:00 AM wouldn't make much sense!

Try this:

rex field=_raw "(?ms)^(?P\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}\s+\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\s+\w{2})"

You can use Splunk's "Extract Fields" from Event Actions to perform the same.
