Charles Perrault's version is much more common since Disney adapted it in 1950. My guess would be sometime in the 17th century.
There's a web page (link below) featuring many versions of Cinderella, including that by Charles Perrault and that by The Grimm Brothers.
About the time - there are versions of this as well, but they all lead to one point: we don't know. It's a time outside ours, in a universe filled with magic, in which beautiful girls had fairies as their godmothers.
Some hints in the story would point to the Middle Ages, perhaps. But finding an approximate time setting for a fairy tale isn't the most worthy of endeavours. This is a quote from one of the versions, that I find most eloquent:
Once upon a time, though it was not in my time or in your time, or in anybody else's time
Cinderella takes place in a fictional kingdom. The story is set in a castle and her home village.

No, the Disney version of Cinderella is set in a fictional kingdom, not in Holland. The story is a fairy tale that does not specify a particular country as its setting.

You can save your place Cinderella's Dollhouse as in the game when magic wand to bring the characters to life , you as character can save your place there.
The events before, during & after what happens in Cinderella don't take place in any specific year or time period, but considering the story takes place during the rule of kings, queens & knights, if you must place the story in a historical context, one can imagine it takes place during the Middle Ages.

Cinderella's story took place in the spring. but not the winter cuz there was no trees and also not in the fall cuz there weren't that many leavesalso it could be in the summer
