RE: How can I create datetime in particular time zone in Appian ?

The Date and Time Functions gmt(), local(), now(), and today() and functions that cast a date and time value to a string of text (such as the tostring() and text() functions) use one of the process time zone contexts and take the user's time zone when the functions are evaluated in a process.
The timezone process property returns the time zone ID currently used by a process instance (its context).
The Due Today filter (on the Filter tab of the Reports view) uses the context time zone to determine today and whether the deadlines for tasks and processes fall within that day for the user viewing the report.
Notifications with expressions evaluated in the body have those expressions evaluated as part of the context flow before the data is sent to notifications. These expressions are evaluated using the context time zone.
Calendar expression functions (those starting with cal*) do not use the time zone context. They operate based on the calendar time zone.

datetime(year(now()),month(now()),day(now()),0,0) - you can wrap this inside gmt() and it will give you the output you are looking for.
