Try this code this will help you because I run this code successfully and return time.

UIDatePicker *pickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 44, 0, 0)];  
pickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;  
pickerView.hidden = NO;  
pickerView.date = [NSDate date];
[self.view addSubview:pickerView];
NSString *dateString;   
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"hh:mm"];
dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:pickerView.date];
NSLog(@"String into Date:--->%@",dateString);
