You should be using SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() if you are going to be switching time zones.

SELECT GETDATETIMEOFFSET() AT TIME ZONE 'US Eastern Standard Time'

If you need to, you can then convert that to a DATETIME value.

This will only work if the local time IS Eastern Standard Time. If the input date doesn't already have an offset, it assumes that the input date is the value at the target time zone rather than the value at the local time zone that needs to be adjusted to the target time zone.
