AX stores datetime as UTC values and applies user’s time zone before showing it in forms etc. The problem is that you save local time as it was UTC datetime, which is wrong - AX will apply the time zone offset to the local time again.

You have to convert your time to UTC be removing the time zone offset - see DateTimeUtil::removeTimeZoneOffset(). Also, look at DateTimeUtil::utcNow(), it may be applicable in your case.
