I think that was a revenge fantasy for Babylonians. So it didn't happen, not even according to the biblical narrative, which doesn't really make it better.
About Amalek, the Bible says among other things: "You shall blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!"
Adding to the obvious irony, there is no mention of them outside the Bible. So assuming they were a historical people, the only book that preserve their name is the one that tells us to wipe it from memory.
