Hello westjohn,

 

Your output is not a valid date format, But you could be able to get that format in string with help of following code.

 

Datetime dt = DateTime.newInstance(Date.today(), Time.newInstance(0, 0, 0, 0));
String formattedDate=dt.format('EEE MMM dd hh:mm:ss')+' GMT '+ dt.format('yyyy');
System.debug('formattedDate : ' + formattedDate);
