12 noon is PM. Think of it as your first year. At the moment of birth you are zero years old but you are in your first your.
12 is like zero. It is a starting point not an ending point. So midnight is the beginning of the AM.
This is so because 12 is a hard line. If you made 12 the ending point then it would be odd to start AM at 1 second after twelve.
You could start the PM at one but actually PM starts immediately after 12, so instead of dealing with theoretical boundaries, it just makes good practical sense to make noon and midnight the starting point for each twelve hour period.
Of course you can just use military time and then you don't have to worry about these boundaries.

Visit the N.I.S.T, National Institute of Standards and Technology. housed in Boulder, Colorado, if you are serious. http://physics.nist.gov/time.
I believe this agency also houses the atomic clock, whose accuracy is purported to be "off 1/10th of a second every billion years." I may be slightly off on the exact wording but the clock is amazing.
If this is not a serious inquiry visit the site anyway. A fascinating tour, even for the lay person. And now, thanks to the www, you can visit in cyberspace although I did enjoy my actual time in the facility.

Time for a drink. The sun's over the yard arm. It's PM on the stroke of noon.

am. The day switches on the "01", not the "00", just like the century (and the millennium), all the celebrations notwithstanding, switches on the "01", not the "00". Think Stanley Kubrick....why was his Space Odyssey 2001 and not 2000?
