fix: Ensure Normalize func preserves milliseconds precision

Normalize function for datetime strings would not preserve the milliseconds values in the filter
causing the /search endpoint to return incorrect results. This change ensures the milliseconds
are not removed.

Normalize function for datetime strings did not preserve milliseconds, causing the `/search`
endpoint return incorrect results. This change ensures that milliseconds are retained when normalized.
