Neither!
Most computer systems use 12:00 am for midnight, but that is technically incorrect.
a.m. is Latin for ante meridiem (before noon)
p.m. is Latin for post meridiem (after noon)
12:00 is either 12:00 noon or 12:00 midnight, but cannot be a.m. or p.m. (because they are neither before noon nor after noon!)

12 midnight is AM. 12 noon is PM although technically a new "day" starts at 11:56:04 pm. the time it takes for the earth to spin once around it's axis is not exactly 24 hours

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 12-hour clock is a timekeeping convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods called ante meridiem (a.m., from Latin, meaning "before mid day", or "before the middle of the day") and post meridiem (p.m., "after mid day" or "after the middle of the day").[1] Each period consists of 12 hours numbered 12 (acting as zero), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Twelve o'clock is either noon or midnight.

12 o'clock midnight is just that - neither am nor pm. 1 minute past midnight however, is 12.01am. The same principle applies for 12 noon.
hope your answer is the money winner!

it AM
AM Ante Meridian which means before middle
the middle day is Noon which is 12:00:00 NN or 12:00:00 PM
a day starts at 00:00:00 AM which is midnight and
is position before the Noon.
if you count all the second from 00:00:00AM to 11:59:59
you will still get 86,400 which is also 24 hours.
hope this helps =)

Midnight is equivalent to 12:00 AM in 12 hour format
it is 00:00 in 24 hour format, which means it is AM
