Did you add your ppk key to Putty? You need to convert .pem key from AWS to .ppk file.

A timeout indicates that the EC2 instance isn't reachable. If the key was incorrect you'd see an error messaging indicating that.
Things I would try:
- See if you can SSH to other destinations; if your service provider may be blocking outbound SSH connections from your network.
- Use the EC2 Serial Console to check that the instance is running the SSH daemon.
- See if you can SSH from the instance to itself.
- Set up another EC2 instance in the same VPC. Use the Serial Console again to see if you can SSH within the VPC.
