You can create a GlideDate object for the calculated date and then piece together a GlideDateTime object using setValue().

 

Here's a script I threw together you can test as a background script:

var gd = new GlideDate();
gd.setValue('2017-05-27');

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
gdt.setValue(gd + ' 20:00:00');  // Set the time to 8pm

gs.info(gdt.getValue());

 

The only thing I would keep an eye on when testing is how the Time Zone affects your object. Give this a try and let me know if you run into any trouble.
