I want the input field and the drop down field in the same area like the one on the left (I did this on the inspector) Dropdown menus

No matter what class I put in my stylesheet it won't shrink the size of the select menu. This is the html code I have.

<mat-form-field appearance="outline">
     <mat-label>End Time</mat-label>
     <input matInput type="time" placeholder="HH:MM" id="end_time_hour" [formControl]="timeFormControl">
     <mat-select name="ampm" class="ampm" [(ngModel)]="event.eampm">
          <mat-option value="AM">AM</mat-option>
          <mat-option value="PM">PM</mat-option>
     </mat-select>
</mat-form-field>

You could wrap your form field in a div and assign it a class so that you can nest the CSS. The reason to nest the CSS is to avoid it affecting the rest of the controls. I did something like this:

<div class="time-picker-component">
    <mat-form-field appearance="outline">
        <mat-label>End Time</mat-label>
        <input matInput type="time" placeholder="HH:MM" id="end_time_hour" [formControl]="timeFormControl">
     <mat-select name="ampm" class="ampm" [(ngModel)]="event.eampm">
          <mat-option value="AM">AM</mat-option>
          <mat-option value="PM">PM</mat-option>
     </mat-select>
   </mat-form-field>
</div>

and then add the folloing CSS somewhere globally:

.time-picker-component .mat-form-field-infix {
  display: inherit;
}

Here is my solution: 

<mat-form-field appearance="outline" style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: flex-start; align-items: center;"> <--- put style here, im not sure the syntax but this is pseudo code
 <mat-label>End Time</mat-label>
 <mat-select name="ampm" class="ampm" [(ngModel)]="event.eampm">
      <mat-option value="AM">AM</mat-option>
      <mat-option value="PM">PM</mat-option>
 </mat-select>
 <input matInput type="time" placeholder="HH:MM" id="end_time_hour" [formControl]="timeFormControl">

Tell me if it works

I don't really understand why :) but this actually works

::ng-deep .mat-select-value {
  font-size: 100%;
}

the drawback is, the font size is different from the input :(
