Import CSV to Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Wizard

$

I have a very simple (but big) CSV file and I want to import it to my database in Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (Database/Tasks/Import Data). But I receive the following error:

The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data".

Here is a sample of my CSV file (containing ~ 9 million rows):

1393013,297884,'20150414 15:46:25'

1393010,301242,'20150414 15:46:58'

Ideally my first and second columns are bigint and the third is datetime. In the wizard, I choose 'unsigned 8 byte integer' for first two and 'timestamp' for the third and I receive the error. Even I try to use string for all three columns as data type and still I receive the same error.

I also tried using bcp command in command line. It errs nothing and inserts nothing! Also using "bulk insert" command errs me that: "the column is too long! verify your terminators", but they are correctly fixed!

I appreciate any idea you have as a solution to this simple-looking problem.
