No giles, you wont get the output back to the website. Cfexecute simply executes files, it doesn't get back any values from that file and convert them to the webserver output stream and send them to your browser. Your text "I am test.bat" it output to the dos window on the server only.
If you want to get content back form the file, you need to output it to a file and then loa dthe file in using cffile.
