Assuming that the second line is the one that threw the exception, you should probably use the safer error checking version of the DateTime parser...

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.tryparseexact%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^]

This will allow you to use the same values, but you pass the instance of your convertedDateTime as the final parameter in the method as "out convertedDateTime" and you can check the returned Boolean value to see if your conversion was successful.
