You've got a typo there -- the unit is called systemd-timesyncd.service, 
with a hyphen:

$ systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service
● systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
...

(You can also just use "systemd-timesyncd", since systemctl will assume a 
.service suffix.)
