You should not tile on top of a hardwood floor. If you do, it will crack as the wood underneath will expand and contract throughout the seasons.
Instead you should be installing on top of some sort of concrete floor. You could either add mud/self leveling mix or cement board. You may also want to remove the hardwood first, if you can.
