The digital clock of GNOME I am referring to is indicated in this screenshot:
enter image description here
(The image shows the date/time as “Sat 12:49 PM”.)

This is the advanced custom format I would like GNOME's digital clock to have:

%l:%M:%S %p %A, %e %B %Y

At the moment, this format would result in:

1:05:10 pm Saturday, 26 December 2015

If I would need to install an extra extension to get this custom format, I am willing to.  Please just tell me the name of the extension I would need and how to install it.

A little late, I know but I've found a way to do it. (This does, however, require an extension - with modification - to work.)

Demonstration of updated DateTime format

Here's the step-by-step guide:

  1. Install the "Change clock format" extension (by silvioricardoc) https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/617/fixclock/
  2. Change to the following directory: ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/FixClock@silvioricardoc/
  3. Open the file, extension.js, with your favourite editor.
  4. At the top of the file, you should find a definition for a variable called panelClockFormat
  5. You can change this to your desired format (as you can see from my format, you can also use JavaScript in your format too.)
  6. Save the file, and press Alt + F2, simply enter r and press Enter.

NOTE: If the extension directory doesn't work, you may have to try this one: /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/FixClock@silvioricardoc/extension.js
