The numbers range, but here is the consensus:
Jesus dies around 30 CE
Paul writes between 51-60 CE
Mark writes between 65-75 CE
Matthew and Luke about 70-80 CE
John between 90-110 CE
Others range, most being after this time, with Peter II probably being written well into the 2nd century.
Please note none of these originals exist, and most copies we have are from the 4th or 5 centuries, and there have been a lot of changes. Basically, it could be said that the bible continued to be written until the printing press was invented (and even a bit after that).

At different times after his death - up to a hundred years in some cases. It was compiled by leaders of the church at the time from a much larger number of texts. This is why new gospels are constantly being discovered. They were not chosen to be included in the Bible, but they were written under the same circumstances.

Depends on what book you are talking about in the New Testament. But, in general around 30ish years after Christ's death. It was written while there were still eye witnesses to the events of Christ.

The NT was written over the course of about 40 years, starting around AD 50.

The Book of Mark has been dated around 50 AD. Much more closely written to the events than many histories of ancient events that we take for granted. One example would be the Pelopensian War of Herodotus.

nobody can really say for sure, but what we now know as the NT was probably compiled by St. Jerome in 3-400 ad from various documents.
