M-x apropos bind <return>:

   (key-binding KEY &optional ACCEPT-DEFAULT NO-REMAP)

   Return the binding for command KEY in current keymaps.
   KEY is a string or vector, a sequence of keystrokes.
   The binding is probably a symbol with a function definition.

   [....]

i.e M-x apropos is a *really good* friend!


I.e. I guess something like

  (funcall (key-binding "\C-j"))

should do the trick.
