Try this query

select
    *,
    Days          = datediff(dd,0,DateDif),
    Hours         = datepart(hour,DateDif),
    Minutes       = datepart(minute,DateDif),
    Seconds       = datepart(second,DateDif),
    MS            = datepart(ms,DateDif)
from
    (select
         DateDif = EndDate-StartDate,
         aa.*
     from
         (  -- Test Data
          Select
              StartDate = convert(datetime,'20090213 02:44:37.923'),
              EndDate   = convert(datetime,'20090715 13:24:45.837')) aa
    ) a

Output

Very simply:

CONVERT(TIME,Date2 - Date1)

For example:

Declare @Date2 DATETIME = '2016-01-01 10:01:10.022'
Declare @Date1 DATETIME = '2016-01-01 10:00:00.000'
Select CONVERT(TIME,@Date2 - @Date1) as ElapsedTime

Yelds:

ElapsedTime
----------------
00:01:10.0233333
