  CONVERT(NVARCHAR, GetDate(), 100) As Date - Nearest to what you want. See link below... Nothing stopping you from stringing sentence together...

  (CONVERT(NVARCHAR, GetDate(), 101)) + ' ' + (RIGHT(CONVERT(NVARCHAR, GetDate(), 100),10))

  it's better you don't.

  Leave formatting to the client application !

  p.s. only use Nvarchar if strictly needed !
