No. A 9mm has a much larger diameter than a 5.56.

No, the standard US thread pattern for 9mm and 5.56 is the same: 1/2 x 28. If you put a 5.56 suppressor on a 9mm handgun it would fit just fine, at least until you pulled the trigger.
Also, a good, durable 5.56 suppressor is around twice as heavy as a 9mm suppresser; even if the suppressor was custom-made to except the bigger 9mm bullet, it would be too heavy to allow almost all 9mm pistols to function properly, even with a Neilsen device.
