I have tried about 100 different combinations of DateFormat, TimeZone,

Answer 1

public Timestamp convertLocalTimeToServerDatetime(String dt,String timezone){

    String clientDnT = dt ;// "2017-06-01 07:20:00";
    try{
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
    Date date = sdf.parse(clientDnT);
    TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone(timezone.trim()); // get time zone of user
    sdf.setTimeZone(tz);

    // Convert to servertime zone 
    SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
    TimeZone tzInAmerica = TimeZone.getDefault();
    sdf1.setTimeZone(tzInAmerica);

    // assign date to date
    String serverDate = sdf1.format(date);

    // Convert to servertime zone to Timestamp
    Date date2 =  sdf.parse(serverDate);
    Timestamp tsm = new Timestamp(date2.getTime());
    return  tsm;
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        System.err.println(e);
    }

    return null;
}
