There's probably a cleaner solution out there, but here's something that
may get you on the right track.

; seconds and milliseconds portions of the time to convert
seconds = 100000000
millis = 123

; convert the seconds to a julian day
ts = bin_date(systime(0, seconds, /UTC)
jd = julday(ts[1], ts[2], ts[0], ts[3], ts[4], ts[5])

; add the milliseconds fraction to the JD
jd += millis / 86400000.0

; display the JD values
fmt = '(C(CDI, X, CMoA, X, CYI, X, CHI2.2, ":", CMI2.2, ":", CSF6.3))'
print, jd, FORMAT = fmt

Running this little test program displays...
