I think you need to give platform_tools pah also, you should post your error log, anyway here is how my PATH looks like

C:\Users\amitabhs\AppData\Roaming\npm;F:\Softs\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools;F:\Softs\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\tools;F:\Softs\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platforms;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin;C:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.9.5\bin;
