ServiceNow keeps all datetime in a single format. It's probably the "local" display time in 12 hours format. So, instead of using .getDisplayValue(), use .getValue() to get the time in 24 hours format.

function checkIfWithinTime() {
  var now = new GlideDateTime();
  var curTime = now.getValue().split(' ')[1];
  return (curTime >= current.u_start_time && curTime <= current.u_end_time);
}

Try the following.

function checkIfWithinTime() {
        var startTime = (new GlideDateTime(current.u_start_time)).getLocalTime();
        var endTime = (new GlideDateTime(current.u_end_time)).getLocalTime();

        var curTime = (new GlideDateTime()).getLocalTime();
        return (curTime >= startTime && curTime <= endTime);
}
