Not exact dates, no, but we do have a handful of things we can figure the timeline on now. Obviously there's what's just been revealed: 5x21-23 are all taking place in the two days before the fishing boat arrives, and there's a five day wait after that before the news report airs. So if we assume 1x01's airdate is the day we see Moira and him at the hospital on, that means October 3, 2012 is the day he arrives on the island.
We also know his visit to Starling City coincided with Tommy's birthday, so 3x14's flashbacks were late January to early February of 2010, assuming the 'birthday bash' Tommy threw was a 'public affair' and he had a quieter birthday with people he cared about (Thea, Laurel, maybe even his dad if Malcolm wasn't being a jerk, rarity though that apparently was).
I've generally placed the Gambit going down as September of 2007 and each of the 'heavy flashback' episodes from the first two seasons encompassing more than a week or so of training for Oliver, maybe as much as a month. 3x14, you could maybe stretch intel gathering and such off-screen to about a week, same with the Season 5 Bratva-heavy flashback in 5x17.
And we're not even factoring in the possibility of how much time passed between the flashbacks of each episode.
Eh, well, good news for those of us who like to write fan fiction or come up with theories as to why Oliver's so good when he's apparently only trained for a 'few days' in certain episodes.
