How can I manually change a datetime picker value

I have a hidden datetime field in a repeater. When a repeater row is duplicated, I would like to change the datetime value. I have tried using acf.getField and then setting
field.val( new-date-string)
also
jQueryElement.attr('value', new-date-string)
and
jQueryElement.val(new-date-string)
finally
jQueryElement.datepicker('setDate', new-date-string)
none of these seem to alter the datetime value. I’m assuming maybe I’m accessing the wrong element but I’m not sure which one I should get?

Thinking about this over the weekend this is a dumb design decision on my part. Just need a text field.
