Hello Rajesh,
It is a good idea to configure multiple NTP servers.
But important thing to note that W32Time will only actively synchronize with one time source at a time, even though if you have more than one time source. If one time source goes down, other one serve you as a backup time source.
I recommend you read Ryan's Blog for better understanding.

Have you checked Ryan's Blog ? If not, please see it once.
Also refer MS article to configure the Windows Time service to use an external time source.
Another useful link for your reference "Registry entries for the W32Time service" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223184?wa=wsignin1.0
