Please use parse() method instead of valueOf() method.
Please refer for more details on DateTime Methods: https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_methods_system_datetime.htm#apex_System_Datetime_parse
UPDATE:
I've provided the code for you which I tested.
The result is
16:18:50:041 USER_DEBUG [7]|DEBUG|date_string >>>2014-12-09 10:48:00
