Simpler, but it doesn't work exactly the same way your first script did.  But if it works for you, you can lose a couple lines...

set JobBagName to (the clipboard as text)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"_"}
set JobBagName to "" & words of JobBagName as text
set JobBagFinalName to text returned of (display dialog "Name of New Job Bag - Nouveau Dossier" default answer JobBagName buttons {"OK", "Cancel"} default button 1)
set destination to choose folder with prompt "Select Folder for Job Folder Creation - Destination du Nouveau Dossier"
tell application "Finder"
set TheNewJobBag to make new folder with properties {name:JobBagFinalName} at destination
make folder with properties {name:"SourcesClient_" & JobBagFinalName} at TheNewJobBag
open TheNewJobBag
end tell

Here's another version that may be simpler for your users:

set JobBagName to (the clipboard as text)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"_"}
set JobBagName to "" & words of JobBagName as text
set newJobBag to (choose file name with prompt "Select Folder for Job Folder Creation - Destination du Nouveau Dossier" default name JobBagName) as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}
set JobBagFinalName to the last text item of newJobBag
set destination to ((text items 1 thru -2 of newJobBag) as text as alias)
tell application "Finder"
set TheNewJobBag to make new folder with properties {name:JobBagFinalName} at destination
make folder with properties {name:"SourcesClient_" & JobBagFinalName} at TheNewJobBag
open TheNewJobBag
end tell
