You need to convert the TimeSpan to a DateTime object first, then use whatever DateTime format you need:

var t = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;

Console.WriteLine(new DateTime(t.Ticks).ToString("hh:mm:ss tt"));

ToShortTimeString() would also work, but it's regional-settings dependent so it would not display correctly (or correctly, depending on how you see it) on non-US systems.
