I will be there at 10am and you can join me anytime. Some traditionalists, like me, would put a comma after 10 a.m. (Do leave a space between 10 and am.)

I will be there at 10am, you can join me anytime. Not this one. It's a comma splice.

I will be there at 10am. You can join me anytime. This is fine.

I will be there at 10am and you can join me anytime. "I will be there at 10 AM, and you can join me anytime" would be grammatically correct, but it still sounds a bit awkward to me.

I will be there at 10am, you can join me anytime. This is incorrect. However, if you use a semicolon in place of the comma, it could work ("
