OK to display the Finder time (as opposed to just the display used by 
the clock) you need to;

Open System Preferences: International: Formats
Click "customize" in the "Times" section
Then click on the hour field in the sample display (just under 
"short", "medium", "long" or "full", depending on what is displayed), 
this reveals a pull down list of available formats for the hour.
Select "00-23" and click on "OK" to accept the change.

All the times used will then be converted to 24hr format.
