The appointment suits me.

Mittwoch passt besser.

Wednesday works better.

Notice who finds the time convenient: Ihnen means you in polite address; mir means me. The day or appointment is what fits. In Passt Ihnen Dienstag?, the verb comes first because it is a yes/no question.

Use these phrases when arranging a meeting. Saying Wednesday works better expresses a preference; it does not necessarily mean Tuesday is impossible. Confirm both the day and time before treating the appointment as agreed.

For “Does Tuesday suit you?” use Ihnen, not Sie: Passt Ihnen Dienstag? Learn jemandem passen with the person in the mir/Ihnen form. This is about a convenient time, not a command to fit something.

Passt Ihnen ...? asks about your availability politely; ... passt mir answers about mine. Besser means better, not the only possible choice. Um introduces the clock time.

Without the translations, ask about Tuesday, say Wednesday works better and offer ten o’clock. Then say the appointment suits you. Keep the proposed day separate from the proposed time.
