Either run it at the command prompt, you can get to this by typing cmd in the Run box, or open a new text file that contains:
ndstool
pause
and save it as NDSTool.bat and run that, you'll be able to see all the options then

It is a command line program, so you need to open a "dos box" (aka command prompt) and "cd" (change directory) to the directory where ndstool.exe is located or download Open Command Window Here from Microsoft PowerToys, and you can right click a folder and the command prompt will open and automatically be cd'ed to that directory.
If you type "ndstool /?" it will display a list of parameters
