There are a whole bunch of different hardware revisions of the N64 if I recall rightly. Some of them can output using S-Video, others can use RGB SCART (best). Some of them don't work with those cables and can only use Composite Video as an output which should be a last resort.

Whatever you do, don't use the RF/antenna cable which will look awful.

If you're willing to pay a little extra for the absolute clearest picture, you could look into having the machine modified to output RGB SCART. I don't have an N64 myself but I've been told (and can imagine) that it's well worth it.
