You can use the stat utility in a command-line shell in the Terminal
application to print out creation and modification times for any file.

Use 'man stat' for details. Use the -f option to specifiy the content and
format for the fields to be displayed.

You want the following format specifiers:

    %SN  to display the file name
    %SB  to display the creation (birth) time
    %Sm  to display the modification time
    %t    to insert tab characters between fields

So the following should give you what you want:

    stat -f '%SN%t%SB%t%Sm' *

Redirect the output to a file:

    stat -f '%SN%t%SB%t%Sm' * > file_times.txt

and you can import that into a spreadsheet specifying tab characters to
separate columns,
