namespace Vendor\Extension\Block\Adminhtml;

class Date extends \Magento\Config\Block\System\Config\Form\Field
{
    public function render(\Magento\Framework\Data\Form\Element\AbstractElement $element)
    {
        $element->setDateFormat(\Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime::DATE_INTERNAL_FORMAT);
        $element→setTimeFormat("HH:mm:ss"); //set date and time as per your need
        return parent::render($element);
    }
}
