The Witcher Timeline(possible Spoiler)

Since im reading the books atm I wonder where exactly Witcher 1/2 take place and where do the books if you put it on a timeline

would appriciate if someone could clarify that for me to lift the clouds...

I am currenty at the end of baptism by fire(Feuertaufe) ... where the sorcresses start the group called the lounge(Die Loge).... Since in Witcher 2 this lounge already existed I assume it plays before Witcher 2 ?
And where would you put Witcher 3 ?

The Witcher 1 = 5 years after the last book
The Witcher 2 = 1 month after The Witcher 1
The Witcher 3 = 6 months after The Witcher 2

Here is a timeline from the wiki, including the events from the games:

This timeline corrects in-game errors (1273 instead of 1270)

The Witcher 2 = 3 months after The Witcher 1

Wasn't it one month after Triss' comments about authopsy??

Well the wiki timeline isn't very reliable.
The talk page on the wiki even mentions that the entire basis might actually be wrong.
Many of the details are fuzzy, and the games actually try to to make sense of it all, and get some kind of coherence in there.
Sapkowski gave us some loose dates in some of his novels, but the stories basically take place in a very dark time where details are fuzzy.
Rule of thumb for all the games is that they take place after the storyline that is described in the books.
