Issue with strptime

I am trying to convert a date / time into 24 hour format using strptime. Here's the example:
OpenedAt = 5/4/2019 9:04:46 PM

I convert it to epoch using the following statement:
eval new_time=strptime(OpenedAt,"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S %p")

When I test it again, it still dosn't show in 24 hour format:
eval new_time2=strftime(new_time,"%m/%d/%Y %T")

05/04/2019 09:04:46
