How old is the kitten?
If that's him in the pic, he looks awfully young.

He should still be learning litter and other behaviors from his mom.
He should be old enough to survive on his own however, but if taking him back for a couple weeks is an option, I would not hestitate to do so if you feel he has to.
What I do for babies is confine them in a large dog crate with a shallow litter tray, food/water and bed, and of course toys.
Usually anywhere from a week to two weeks before they are usuing a litterbox without fail.
Confining him to a bathroom will also work.
If he does not go soon, I would make arrangements to get him back to his momma for at least 2 more weeks 4 weeks if possible.
