The correct verb for this sentence is the singular linking verb "is."

"Neither Timothy nor Simon is happy today."

Verbs for compound subjects linked with "or" or "nor" will always match the number of the last member of the compound subject.

For example:

"Neither his sister nor his brothers are hungry."

"Neither his brothers nor his sister is hungry."

In the above examples, if the singular "is" seems odd, then reverse the order of the members of the compound subject and use "are." In other words use the first version. The writer chooses the order of the members of a compound subject in a sentence and, therefore, controls the verb, too.
