The informat creates the correct datetime value.  MDYAMPM format does not appear to show seconds but you can see they are there when displayed with DATETIME format.

 

27         data _null_;
28            x = '06/12/2016 4:30:55 PM';
29            d = input(x,mdyampm22.);
30            put x= d=mdyampm27. d=datetime.;
31            run;

x=06/12/2016 4:30:55 PM d=6/12/2016  4:30 PM d=12JUN16:16:30:55

Input should be 12JUN16:16:30:55 and output should look like 06/12/2016 4:30:55 PM

You can use the PROC FORMAT and the PICTURE statement to make the format you desire.
