Perhaps as elapsed is an integer, not a string; what you needed is even
simpler:

var elapsed = end.getTime() - currTime.getTime();
var seconds = Math.floor(elapsed/1000);

And if you didn't want the external sprintf dependency, what you had was
fine:

var minutes = Math.floor(seconds/60);
var hours = Math.floor(minutes/60);
minutes = minutes - (hours*60);

var remainTime = hours + ":" +
  (minutes<10 ? ("0"+minutes):minutes);
