You can directly get the spreadsheet Time Zone like this :

  var addedDate = sheet.getRange(1,1).getValue();
  var addedTime = Utilities.formatDate(addedDate, SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSpreadsheetTimeZone(), "hh:mm a");

See doc here

but Google Apps Script uses these formats if you want to choose it yourself :
