The question is slightly ambiguous, but to get the current time you can simply use:

new DateTime();  

This will give you the DateTime in the default Chronology (calendaring system) and the system TimeZone. However, if you want to create a DateTime object that is represented in a different or "standard time" zone to you. You can use:
