Use a SimpleDateFormat to produce a properly formatted String output:

SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");
simpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

String formattedNow = simpleDateFormat.format(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));

Output : 2018-02-27T07:36:47.686Z
