In British English, o'clock is not normally used with a.m. or p.m.

How about American English?

Are you asking whether or not an American would say something like, "It's five o'clock p.m"?  If so, then the answer is not usually, but sometimes.  Typically you would add either "o'clock" or "a.m./p.m." and not the other.
