Here is the sample file for your reference..

I placed the code in the click event of the button.For you to see where the script is...

Select the button and then click on window menu and choose Script Editor.

If you still can not see the Script Editor, then you need to pull the handle down..

See the below image..

Try the modified script.. Place the code in the click event of the "Button1" on your form for testing..

Stamp = new Date();
var Hours;
var Mins;
var Time;
Hours = Stamp.getHours();

if (Hours >= 12) {
Time = " PM";
}
else {
Time = " AM";
}

if (Hours > 12) {
Hours -= 12;
}

if (Hours == 0) {
Hours = 12;
}

Mins = Stamp.getMinutes();

if (Mins< 10) {
Mins = "0" + Mins;
}

xfa.resolveNode("Button1.caption.value.#text").value = Hours + ":" + Mins + Time;

Thanks
