Unfortunately, once your AirPods are connected to someone else's device, you can't track them through Find My iPhone. This feature only works when the AirPods are connected to one of your devices. If they're out of range, stolen, or connected to another device, your best bet is to keep them in 'Lost Mode' and hope they reconnect to one of your devices.
