Hello, Mark
Here is how do what you want under KDE:
1. "System Settings | Common Appearance and Behavior | Locale | Date & 
Time | Time format:"
2. In the "Time format:" drop down menu, there are the following choices:
HH:MM:SS
PH:MM:SS AMPM
pH:MM:SS AMPM

I run my clock in KDE in 12H mode.  But for experimentation's sake, I 
changed my setting to "HH:MM:SS", logged out and logged right back in. 
The result was that my clock now displays time in 24H mode.

If the "Date/Time app" that you are referring to is the same thing that 
I referred to above, I have no idea why you can't change your time to 
24H mode...  If you haven't already, you might want to create a fresh 
user and see if you can change the clock to 24H mode for that user.
