</input><input id="inp">

<script>
$('#sel').on('change', function(){
   var type = $('this').find('option:selected').data(type);
   if(type == 'date'){
      //enable calendar
      $('#inp').datetimepicker();
   } else {

Answer 1

If you'll find time and read datetimepicker manual you will see a couple of methods even with examples:

hide - Hide Datetimepicker

toggle - Show/Hide Datetimepicker

destroy - Destroy datetimepicker

Now, choose which one you want.
