Code Challenge: Time Tango

I am not passing the challenge for some reasons. In answering the question, I am making a lot of assumptions here about the format of date and time which will be passed into the time_tango method as arguments. Can I assume for the code challenge the date is in the year-month-date format while time is in the hour-minutes format?

import datetime

def time_tango(date, time):
  date_time = datetime.datetime.strptime("{} {}".format(date, time), "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
  return date_time
