I would like to use market profile for ES trading (S&P 500 Emini). I am confused about an appropriate set up for it. Since the ES is traded almost 24/7, how should I set up my time periods? Should I use each day for a time period or should I use regular trading hours as individual time periods? Which time frames are most useful?

To take advantage of the initial balance concept of market profile you need to us CME equity futures Regular trading hours.

That being said depending on your charting application you can use the full 24 hr chart, and segment that into two separate profiles. I use RTH and ETH (ETH-rth)
