powershell script create custom columns to screen output

Question

I need to create custom columns to the output of my script in powershell.

dc55   (UTC-04:00) Santiago 4/26/2017 11:34:42 AM
DC10   (UTC-04:00) Santiago 4/26/2017 11:34:43 AM
DC11   (UTC-04:00) Santiago 4/26/2017 11:34:44 AM
DHCP10 (UTC-04:00) Santiago 4/26/2017 11:34:44 AM
DHCP11 (UTC-04:00) Santiago 4/26/2017 11:34:45 AM

so for example i need to format the output in this way

Server       TimeZone         Date and Time
-----        --------         --------------
dc55   (UTC-04:00) Santiago 4/26/2017 11:34:42 AM
DC10   (UTC-04:00) Santiago 4/26/2017 11:34:43 AM
DC11   (UTC-04:00) Santiago 4/26/2017 11:34:44 AM
DHCP10 (UTC-04:00) Santiago 4/26/2017 11:34:44 AM
DHCP11 (UTC-04:00) Santiago 4/26/2017 11:34:45 AM

this is the line of output in my script:

Write-Host "$Server $TimeZone  $date_time"

I usually do something like this:

New-Object -TypeName PSCustomObject -Property @{
            Server= $Server
            Timezone= $TimeZone
            DateTime= $DateTime}

You can then show that on screen or export to CSV or whatever works for you.
