Sorry, that will give you the number of seconds from midnight. To convert to a datetime, you might do additional manipulations to convert to hours, minutes and seconds, and then (for example) use the datetime() function.
I think it would be something like this:
Remainder = jd - int(jd)
Hours = int(Remainder * 24)
Remainder = Remainder - Hours * 24
Minutes = int(Remainder * 24 * 60)
Remainder = Remainder - Minutes * 24 * 60
