This piece of code injects some javascript into the jQuery view helper at the
top of your layout. Because view scripts [1] are rendered earlier than
layouts, this works. View rendered -> Code injected into view helper -> Layout
rendered -> Javascript placed.
When you place the code in your layout, the view helper doesn't have the
javascript yet while it's rendered and then the datepicker is placed.
So layout rendered -> no javascript placed (it's empty) -> datepicker placed.
You need the view script or use the placeholder view helper to render the
datepicker first.

[1] Actually a layout is a view, but in this case I mean view scripts as views
for action controllers.
