Thank you all so much for your response. I am able to achieve this. The field that I was updating is of a field type Text area(long), that's the reason it was not working I changed the field type to Text area(Rich) and used &nbsp for spacing  'Availability Date'+'&nbsp '+'&nbsp '+'Quantity'; It worked.

Hey Sadik,

You can concatenate a string with ' ' (1 space). You can add any number of spaces between two strings.

Refer below example - 
String firstString = 'Hello';
String secondString = 'World';
String finalString = firstString + ' ' + secondString;
Do post here if you have any further questions.

Happy Coding!

Hi DevADS,

I have tried it, you add any spaces it only shows 1 space between them. Please check from your end..
