If you're moving between timelines — one set of events happens in 1940 and one set happens in 1990 — the simplest way is to have one timeline per chapter and put the year (or detailed date) at the top of the chapter, either as a headline or a dateline in italics. If you're doing the same thing inside a chapter, you need some kind of break (at least a few hard returns, if not some kind of dingbat) and then the dateline (_June 1, 1940_) before the text starts.
