But the amplitude of values is between -3.25*10^4 and 3.25*10^4.

Don't think in decimal, think in power-of-2 3.25e4 = 2^15, so you're simply displaying a 16-bit signed integer number.

I'm using the NCO function in DSP Builder (simulink) to display the values. I connected the 16 bit sine and cosine outputs to simulink Scope to display the values. I think the reason of having these big amplitudes is because these values are displayed as signed integer. To fix the issue,

Why do you think this is an "issue"? Its merely a scale factor.

I used Output AlteraBlockset to specify [Number of Bits].[] = 1 for the sign bit and [].[Number of Bits] = 15 for the fraction part of the floating point number. So MSB is the sign bit and the rest of 15 bits is the fraction number.

What you are trying to do sounds reasonable, however, I don't use Simulink, so I cannot comment on whether this is the correct way to convert to fractional integer.

However, the output values are all negative and the cycle lenght is not correct, either. Or should I use another tool to check these values?

It sounds like there is something wrong with your method of conversion to fractional integer. I'd take a look at the MATLAB documentation and try to find an example that works :)
