Most of Into Darkness takes place in 2259, with only the epilogue being a year later (2260).

The Motion Picture is a big question mark, but the general consensus seems to be about 2273.

Insurrection takes place in 2375.
 
Maybe the Kelvin movies are better viewed separately, like after Nemesis since they spin-off of events in 2387 into their own universe.
 
TMP is generally assumed to take place in 2273, due to the comment about Kirk not logging a single star hour in 2 1/2 years.
 
TMP varies wildly in terms of timeline placement. Roddenberry wanted it to be 2271, and I think Robert Wise and some others thought of it as 2279 since it's 300 years into future just like TOS was. Complicating that is that the idea that TOS was in the 2260s took forever after the show to actually get established, and long after TMP. Before that, FASA and the rest were going with the early 22nd Century, with the events of the universe over a longer stretch of time (the FASA Constitution class was in service of eons). I think it took till TNG for the timeline to be written as it was. Pocket Books is the source where the 2273 decision came from. And that is not canon, and can be changed on a whim should they decide. I myself am perfectly ok with the 2275 date mentioned. But you'll never get a solid consensus on it.
 
Voyager: "Q2" establishes that the 5-year mission ended in 2270. Add 2.5 years of inactive Kirk/18 months rebuilding the Enterprise and 2273 or just before sounds right. Definitely more correct than 2271
