The new Batman and Justice League movies all take place in the same universe. Following them, you would usually go with the release date for a timeline. But I don't think that's accurate this time. If you go by release date order, the movies would be:
Justice League: War
Son of Batman
Batman: Assault On Arkham
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
Batman vs. Robin
Batman: Bad Blood
Justice League vs. Teen Titans
However, if you think about it, once you throw Damian into the equation, that order doesn't make much sense. Batman is still going solo during
Assault on Arkham
, then is taking care of Damian during
Son of Batman
and
Batman vs Robin
. At the end of
Batman vs Robin
, Damian goes to stay with the monks, during which time Batman joins with the Justice League for
War
and
Throne of Atlantis
. Damian then comes back during
Bad Blood
, after which he too joins the Justice League and then the Teen Titans in
Justice League vs Teen Titans
. So the REAL timeline order goes:
Batman: Assault on Arkham
Son of Batman
Batman vs. Robin
Justice League: War
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
Batman: Bad Blood
Justice League vs Teen Titans -

There are 2 issues with the timeline you made though.
#1 - Assault on Arkham isn't part of that connected movie universe. Believe it or not its supposed to take place in the same universe as the Arkham video games.
#2 - In JL: Throne of Atlantis there is a scene where Batman is chasing down Scarecrow and the league pulls him away. Batman sends Damien to take care of it.
There is a bonus feature on the JL:ToA DVD showing Nightwing and Robin taking Scarecrow down. At the end of the short bonus scene you see Talon from The Court of Owls secretly watching Damien.
So Throne of Atlantis definitely takes place between Son of Batman & Batman vs Robin.

We can arguably include Justice League: Flashpoint as the place where the new continuity comes into existence. So, we could consider this to be the correct order:
Justice League: Flashpoint
Justice League: War
Son of Batman
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
Batman vs. Robin
Batman: Bad Blood
Justice League vs. Teen Titans
Justice League Dark

Justice League: Flashpoint
Justice League: War
Son of Batman
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
Batman vs. Robin
Batman: Bad Blood
Justice League vs. Teen Titans
Justice League Dark
This is also the correct release order.
So yeah I know the OP wanted to make a timeline that made more sense (where is Damien during War and Throne), but the bonus scene on the Throne DVD pretty much shows these movies are released in the order they happen.
Also, I do not believe Flashpoint Paradox can be used are the kick off of the new movie continuity. At the end of the movie after the universe was altered Flash gives Batman a letter from his father. Yet in War Flash meets Batman for the first time and is star struck.

I wouldn't call it a sequel, per se, but it is part of the over-all continuity of animated films spun out of DC's New 52 universe.
