IMHO, it would be much easier, if the OP simply added all .html files to a new Sigil project and have Sigil generate a TOC, which will automatically generate an .ncx file.

The workflow would be as follows:
1. Add .html files to new Sigil project
2. Select the files in the Book Browser and sort them automatically by name or manually re-arrange them
3. Right-click the cover page/image, the TOC and the first page of the book; select Add Semantics > Cover/Table Of Contents/Text to add the missing guide items.
4. Press F8 to add metadata
5. Click the green checkmark to check the ePub
6. Save the ePub and compile it with KindleGen or Kindle Previewer

BTW, since MobiPocket Creator won't be updated it might be easier to start new .mobi projects in Sigl anyway.
