It is way too early to say anything about Wilders' chances to become prime minister. This round of negotiations failed, but that does not mean they will fail next time. A different combination of parties looks even less viable at the moment. Anything can happen.
It’s kind of hard to parse, as a non-Dutch, what the voters would actually prefer in an election with so many parties.

Wilders only has 23% of the vote, so while that is more than Timmerman’s 16% it isn’t clear to me what the other 61% of the voters would like.
