The iTunes support instructions suggest pretty much what you said.
But when I tried it, instead of rebuilding the library from the xml file
it changed the xml file to match the empty library file. (no empty text
file needed. It creates a new itunes file, and did nothing to a text
file named iTunes Library)
I tried it a couple times and it would not rebuild the library from the
xml. Then I tried the reverse, just to see if it would work, and it did.
It rebuilt the xml file from the iTunes Library file.
EEEEEK!
But still no dates in iTunes.
My mileage varied

I presume you mean the Date Added and Date Modified are in the xml file.
You can force the iTunes Library file to be rebuilt from the iTunes
Library.xml file. Maybe that will give you what you need.
Note that I have never had to do this myself. This is supposed to be
the procedure...
First quit iTunes.
Then backup copy the iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files.
Then create an empty text file, name it iTunes Library and put it
where iTunes Library was.
Start iTunes and let it rebuild your "corrupt" iTunes Library file.
YMMV
