Well to be fastidiously correct, your usage is correct and everything
else
'should' be wrong. However, languages evolve and conventions change so
now
either AM or am is widely acceptable. But they should be separate from
the
numbers, as Suzanne has mentioned. Definitely avoid 12 am or 12 pm as so
many people don't know the origin of am/pm that they cannot work out
which
is noon and which is midnight. So whenever practicable, write noon or
midnight.

I'm probably old-fashioned, but I always type time in this format:
7:00
p.m.
More and more often I see 7:00pm or 7:00 PM and Word doesn't seem to
mark
any of these as grammatically incorrect. Is there a "right" way?
