It seems extremely impractical for a user to have to type that in. Perhaps you could use 2 different fields, and some friendly controls like a date picker and up/down arrows for adjusting the time.

Alternatively (I agree with Chip about it being quite unfriendly) you could update the value after it's entered to format it the way you want it as long as it's a valid DateTime.
