Go to the NI web site and search for "ms time". They have a utility there (for Windows only) that duplicates the functionality of "Wait (ms)" and "Tick Count (ms)", but with sub-ms resolution. The following link may get you there:

That should do just what you need.
I learned about this at NITS in December. Maybe it's relatively new, but it seems odd that it isn't more widely known.
