Setting current time in input type time in ASP.Net MVC

I am quite new to ASP.Net Core MVC. I am trying to display the current time in input type time. But I am not able to do so. Below is the code I am trying.

  <input type="time" id="starttime" value="@DateTime.Now.ToString("hh::mm::ss tt")" />

The time picker shows blank. I also tried by setting time by script but no luck.

Could someone please help? Isnt it possible to display current time in this manner?

Per the documentation: "The control's user interface varies from browser to browser".

SUGGESTIONS:

Look at the actual HTML rendered in Chrome Dev Tools.
If the HTML looks OK, experiment with different ".ToString()" format patterns until your time picker looks OK, too.
Once it works on one browser (e.g. Chrome), be sure to also test on other browsers (e.g. IE11, Firefox, Safari and Edge).

FYI, I don't think the format "hh::mm::ss tt" is valid for any browser.

I tried these different format strings on Chrome:

Format         Status  Display:
------         ----    -------
hh::mm::ss tt  FAILS   --:-- --
hh:mm          OK      12:33 PM
hh:mm:ss       OK      12:33:38 PM
hh:mm:ss tt    FAILS   --:-- --
hh::mm         FAILS   --:-- --
