Guys,

Is there any tool/software to convert PCB Layout along with netist
into schematics. Im a newbie, Kindly help!

Thanks

Usually, the schematic comes first.
Then the netlist, then finally the PCB layout.

Is this what you want, or do you want the reverse-engineering route?
If you really want a schematic from a finished product, it's easier to
ask (generally).
And failing that, you can do it by hand.
Another option (I've not tried, but seems like it could work??) is to
use Photoshop Elements or something similar. Photograph the board on
its own layer, and make your connections on another. (In Elements,
you'd have to keep flattening, but to me, it seems that would be
easier than tracing the routes manually - especially if double-sided
PCB w/traces under parts, etc..)

But hey, I don't do reverse engineering for a living, so there are
probably better methods out there... -mpm
