Thank you for your question,

SQL

DECLARE @StartDate datetime
DECLARE @EndDate datetime

SELECT @StartDate=Date1 FROM MyDate
SELECT @EndDate=Date2 FROM MyDate

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),ABS(DATEDIFF(dd,@StartDate,@EndDate)))
+' ' +
CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),ABS(DATEDIFF(hh,@StartDate,@EndDate)))
+' ' +
CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),ABS(DATEDIFF(MM,@StartDate,@EndDate)))

Thanks,
Mamun

You can use following to find difference between BDate and JDate

CONVERT(nvarchar, DATEDIFF(d, BDate, JDate)) + ':' + CONVERT(nvarchar, DATEDIFF(hh, BDate, JDate) % 24) + ':' + CONVERT(nvarchar, DATEDIFF(n, BDate, JDate) % 60)

SQL

SELECT
    ID, 
    Name, 
    BDate, 
    JDate, 
    CONVERT(nvarchar, DATEDIFF(d, BDate, JDate)) + ':' + CONVERT(nvarchar, DATEDIFF(hh, BDate, JDate) % 24) + ':' + CONVERT(nvarchar, DATEDIFF(n, BDate, JDate) % 60) AS Difference
FROM
    Temp
