The visit of the wise men is described in Matthew's Gospel, which tells of them indirectly causing the young family to flee from Bethlehem to Egypt and remain there until King Herod died. The story of the wise men could not have fitted into the nativity account in Luke's Gospel because in that story the young family travelled from Bethlehem to Jerusalem a few weeks after the birth of Jesus, and then returned peacefully to Nazareth in Galilee.
According to Matthew, the wise men must have arrived a good deal less than two years after the birth of Jesus, because when Herod realised that they were not returning to him, he ordered the slaughter of all boys under two years old. Matthew does not provide any information to place the visit more accurately in relation to the birth of Jesus.
