Good ol' 1 tool wunder. A round of applause for MOD

Had to use the solution file as input as DataTime_Now in input is 41 seconds earlier than output

I used modulo formulas for the minutes, hours and seconds.

A little more manual than I would have preferred, but it works.

Here is my solution - rather than using floor or mod I changed data type to fixed decimal to truncate the result of the calculation:

Step 1: Used DateTime Tool

Step 2: Formula Tool

DateTimeDiff= DateTimeDiff([DateTimeNOW],[DateTime],"seconds")

Days= DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],"days")

Hours= DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],"hours")-DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],"days")*24

Minutes: DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],"minutes")

-(DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],"hours")*60)

Seconds= DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],"seconds")

-(DateTimeDiff([Time_Now],[TIMESTAMP],"minutes")*60)

My attempt - Multi Row formula to update Time Now Column (for accuracy). Four Column Formula using TimeDateDiff and subtracting the formula value at the appropriate conversion scale.
