Ok, in generally granularity of hours level is not available. But if you like, you can do small modifications in the 2 files and it will be fine for you. This changes are not critical so you can try them. You have to have an access to the files of your DNN installation.

1. Go to the DesktopModules\Admin\Tabs\ the folder.
2. Make a backup of the 2 files: managetabs.ascx and managetabs.ascx.vb. In case something goes wrong, then you can restore them.
3. Open managetabs.ascx for edit. Find text 
   
   
   <asp:TextBox ID="txtStartDate" CssClass="NormalTextBox" runat="server" MaxLength="11" Width="120" Columns="30"/>
   
   and change MaxLength to 30 so text will be like 
   
   
   <asp:TextBox ID="txtStartDate" CssClass="NormalTextBox" runat="server" MaxLength="30" Width="120" Columns="30"/>
4. Next you should remove validator, because it checks for valid Date, but we will use DateTime. Find text 
   
   
   <asp:CompareValidator ID="valtxtStartDate" resourcekey="valStartDate.ErrorMessage" Operator="DataTypeCheck" Type="Date" runat="server" Display="Dynamic" ControlToValidate="txtStartDate"/>
   
   and remove it at all.
5. Save changes.
6. To prevent trimming on load you have to change one line in the managetabs.ascx.vb also. Open this file for edit and find text 
   
   
   txtStartDate.Text = Tab.StartDate.ToShortDateString
   
   and replace it with this one 
   
   
   txtStartDate.Text = Tab.StartDate.ToString
7. Save changes.

Thats it. Now you can put into the textbox fully DateTime like 5/11/2011 3:30:00 PM.

Hope this helps!

PS: Exactly the same can be done for EndDate. You just need to Search for controls with word End, not Start.

Yes, i removed validation at all. Sure, it is possible to change validation, but then it needs to use RegularExpressionValidator and i have to know what format of the DateTime do you use. Format of the DateTime is different for different countries and ever regions inside single country.
