I used datetime.setDefaultFormats('default','hh:mm:ss yyyy-MM-dd') to set my default setting for datetime. However, time is running up to 12 instead of 24 hours. How can I change this?

Use HH instead of hh for the hours:
>> datetime.setDefaultFormats('default','hh:mm:ss yyyy-MM-dd')
>> t = datetime(2019,8,10,17,30,0)
t =
05:30:00 2019-08-10
>> datetime.setDefaultFormats('default','HH:mm:ss yyyy-MM-dd')
>> t
t =
17:30:00 2019-08-10

See the Format documentation of datetime, which lists all the format and indeed clearly states:
h Hour, 12-hour clock notation using one or two digits
hh Hour, 12-hour clock notation using two digits
H Hour, 24-hour clock notation using one or two digits
HH Hour, 24-hour clock notation using two digits
