All episodes in this segment will be stated as their true episode designation, not paired designation, as the first few seasons have episodes grouped together. This will not be the case on the timeline itself, so I don't have to calculate the true timestamps - I'm using NOW, to watch the shows sans Fionna and Cake, which already puts a Cartoon Network intro at the start to calculate around.
Based off the fact Finn's birthday (the day Jake's parents found him) is March 14, and Finn's birthday is in 2x19 each episode is ~4 days apart (assuming 2x01 is the start of the new year, which allows for a reasonable time between each episode) unless stated otherwise. This also works with season 5 being "A year and a half" after the start of the show (the year for that is given later in my reasoning).
While Adventure Time has crossed over with Futurama, this is a multiversal crossover and only the episode they appear in will be on this timeline.
The Adventure Time pilot is canon, despite the many inaccuracies in it. These inaccuracies are negligible, since a comic explains all of them.
Prismo's Time Room is stated to be outside of time. However, time clearly still passes there (kinda) so I will not be giving it its own section, like the TVA on the MCU timeline.
The Great Mushroom War (GMW) occurs in 2001. There are a few different pieces of evidence for this. Marceline (who is born 4 years before the Great Mushroom War) enjoys mid-90s rock, and in the episode "Filmmakers" Jake says the VCR tapes in the episode are from "Just before the Great Mushroom War", establishing it in/around the mid-90s, however based on Simon Petrikov being born in 1957 and 47 in the "Simon and Marcy" flashbacks (which occur when Marceline is 7 - Marceline was born 4 years before the GMW) meaning the GMW started in 1957+47=2004. 2004-(7-4)=2001
In the episode "Simon and Marcy", it is established that the flashbacks that occur are 996 years ago exactly (on day 1 of the flashbacks), placing modern day of that episode in the year 2004+996=3000. In this season, Finn states that it's been "A year and a half" since the start of the show, placing the first few seasons in 2999 (with the start of season 1 being in 2998, and season 4/5 being early-mid 3000, which works with the 4 days per episode guideline).
The pilot has to occur in 2997/8, since Finn says he is 12 and Jake says he is 28 (4 in human years - which would contradict his being born before Finn, if not for his father being the alien Ampersand, so he would simply age slightly slower than regular dogs - this is the only contradiction not explained in a comic I believe, though since it can get an explanation based on lore established in the show, his age is still not a contradiction).
4x14 "King Worm" is meant to happen previously in the show, after the episode "Evicted!" The episode is a dream sequence, however appearances can still create contradictions, such as swords not being wielded by Finn yet and the inclusion of the Lich. The episode foreshadows many future events such as Farmland (which is glaringly obvious on rewatches) despite not ever showing the Cosmic Owl, so this dream sequence clearly is just able to foreshadow (it is created by the King Worm in an attempt to steal Finn/Jake's life essences, thus not being just a dream). A few other episodes are clearly meant to take place earlier in the show, however do not have any contradictions (that need a paragraph to be explained - if at all).
