Silly Flow Designer Time/Date problem?

Is there a simple way to output a time/date field to a message in Flow Designer?

 

Ok, so I've wasted too much time on this probably easy problem. I'm using flow designer to send a custom Teams message formatted in HTML. I am sending a string to include the planned start date field from change request records. 

 

The problem is, when I use pill picker to set a variable to the planned start date field, the runtime value looks good. Screenshot below. However, when I call the variable later in the html message or assign it to a different variable it shows a time 4 hours later. 

 

4 hours happens to be the difference in time zones from UTC to New_York, my time zone. However, when I try to convert the variable to New_York assuming it is showing Universal time, I get a time 4 hours less than America/New_York. I don't get it. 

 

Any tips would be appreciated.
