And I agree with Altaira. There is more than enough material for inspiration, and PJ and GDT said that they were going to focus in on one particular set of events in the 60 year period between The Hobbit and FOTR and find the story to tell from that. This would likely be supplemented by flashbacks and such to events during the 60 year period, and possibly even long before The Hobbit. Also I like the concept of parallel timelines, in the The Hobbit F1, although Bard's loss of his wife would need careful placement, possibly as a tale told to Bilbo by Gandalf during the journey, perhaps during a discussion about Smaug. That way we would see Bard earlier in the story and be aware first hand of his tragic story. As for F2, I think again, Aragorn and Arwen, along with the Hunt for Gollum will be the major story line that the writers will have the most material to work from and the film will thus centre around those events. It seems that nothing REAL actually happened between the White Council vs Dol Guldur other than their ageement and acceptance that the Necromancer is Sauron and his realizing he has to move to the safety of Mordor. Likely no real physical confrontation took place which relegates this idea to being primarily a council scene. One thing I think The Hobbit F1 can do is show Estel in Rivendell and have him meet Bilbo, or else revisit this event in F2 flashing back to show Thorin's company as they passed through Rivendell and Bilbo meeting Estel, in order to set up for F2 and Aragorns protection of the Shire and later hunt for Gollum.
