So I'd say 5-7 days in the Black Hills/Badlands/Devils Tower, 10-14 days at Yellowstone GTNP, and 10-14 days at Glacier. With travel time both ways, that takes care of 6-7 weeks pretty quickly.
I like this plan as well. We spent 5 days in the Black Hills some years back and didn't do nearly everything there is to do. 10 days or so in Yellowstone & the Tetons also can allow you to get over to Cody to visit the Buffalo Bill Center (definitely worth a visit!), and I'd second the thought of spending some time at Devils Tower & Little Bighorn National Battlefield - 2 nights each would be sufficient. The KOA at Devils Tower is right under the tower itself, great view, and has hookups (which the park CG does not), and there are a couple decent private CGs near Little Bighorn (take a tour while there - very interesting, and each one is a little different.)
If you like to hike, spend more time at Glacier than we did (4 nights on each side), and if you have passports, be sure to take a day trip up to its adjoining park, Waterton Lakes in Alberta.
