dateRange.setEndDate(endDate);

But The Start and End dates for the query in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'

Is there a way to to additionally specify a hours?

No, the day starts at midnight of the view you are querying. However you can query for the hour of the day as a dimension (ga:hour for the hour of the day, or ga:dateHour for the date with the hour) and use that to filter in your results for the timeframe you want.
