On Centos/RHEL 7 the time is usually set using the Chrony daemon.

Over at Cert Depot you'll find a fine explanation of how to set the time. Jump down to the Chrony part. After stuggling several hours I realised that ntpd will not work correctly on the newer releases for some odd reason.

Basicly all you have to do is to install chrony

root ]$ yum install chrony

The enable the package to run and start it

]$ systemctl enable chronyd
]$ systemctl start chronyd
]$ chronyc sources -v

the latter command give you a good overview of if the chrony is working as expected.
