A simplified viewing/reading order is presented first, followed by the detailed timeline.
Placement reasonings:
First, many of the flashback dates are assumed based on character age/appearance in modern day and flashback portions, so are mere estimates, as very few firm time spans are given in the series so far.
Justice League - The Flashpoint Paradox is technically the origins of the rebooted timeline (as a result of Flashpoint). A calendar on the wall in the Flashpoint timeline indicates its November, while at the end when Barry returns to the corrected timeline the calendar reads October, indicating he likely returned a month earlier than he left (but that doesn't matter since they're two separate timelines). Since much of Justice League - The Flashpoint Paradox occurs in different timelines outside of the new timeline its events create (which this animated universe sprung from), those alternate timelines are noted in brackets.
Justice League - War occurs in November because High School State Finals occur in that month.
Son of Batman picks up an indeterminate time later.
Justice League - Throne of Atlantis likely occurs not too long after events of Justice League - War, due to Orm's plan coming to fruition. He vowed revenge in Justice League - War's post credit scene, and sets it in motion in Justice League - Throne of Atlantis, likely indicating only a matter of months have passed. The Justice League are still a new team in the film.
Nightwing and Robin occurs during the early portion of Justice League - Throne of Atlantis.
Batman vs. Robin picks up awhile after Son of Batman, as Batman mentions "all these months" in regard to how long Damian has been with him, indicating a year hasn't passed yet but it's been some time. The snow suggests this film is in Winter.
Batman - Bad Blood picks up about six months after Batman vs Robin putting us in year 2.
Justice League vs Teen Titans picks up an indeterminate time after Bad Blood. Likely not long after, as Batman and Nightwing are still trying to help with Damian's social and team work skills by having him join the Titans.
Justice League Dark occurs an indeterminate amount of time after Justice League vs Teen Titans, but occurs after Suicide Squad - Hell to Pay and Constantine - City of Demons: The Movie. The League has expanded and continues to expand its roster, indicating it's at least a couple years since the League formed in Justice League - War.
Teen Titans - The Judas Contract picks up around a year after JL vs TT, as Terra has been with the Titans for a year and she was shown heading toward Titans Tower in JL vs TT's post credit scene, indicating around a year passed between the films.
Suicide Squad - Hell to Pay MUST occur BEFORE Justice League Dark due to its sequel spin off comic (which picks up very soon after the film).
Suicide Squad - Hell to Pay's sequel comic series features an appearance by Jason Blood, who Waller goes to for answers about the Get Out of Hell card. Since Jason Blood is separated from Etrigan and dies at end of Justice League Dark, Suicide Squad - Hell to Pay and it's sequel comic must occur before the events of Justice League Dark.
The Death of Superman takes place an indeterminate amount of time after Justice League Dark.
The Death of Superman - Part 1 comic takes place during and after The Death of Superman. The Wake issues have flashbacks. Picking up the Pieces probably takes place before Justice League - War, since the Parrademon attack is short, leading Wonder Woman to believe it's to see if they can fight back. Although it seems like they know each other and their meeting in Justice League - War contradicts this, the encounter is short and it's presumed its the moment that Wonder Woman figured out that Superman was in love with Lois lane. Flashback is put in 2017 because Superman and the Flash are good friends. Clyde takes place after Justice League - Throne of Atlantis because Orm is out of prison. The after credits scene of that film shows Lex Luthor offering him a proposition. What this is means exactly is unknown. Show Me! takes place in 2017 because Batman and Superman are good friends since Superman trusts Batman with Kryptonite.
Constantine - City of Demons: The Movie dates itself as occurring in late October/early November 2018 based on a newspaper date. According to the Director, this movie is a prequel to Justice League Dark.
Reign of the Supermen picks up six months after The Death of Superman, making it year 4.
