That means you have to build a phylogenetic tree first (for your topology), the TimeTree can estimate the divergence timing of the branches based on calibration data.

See http://www.megasoftware.net/webhelp/walk_through_mega/constructing_a_time_tree_ml_.htm

Btw.: the name of the format is Newick, see http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip/newicktree.html
