Karthik,
Could you please provide some screen captures?
I guess you want to set display value, we can have only one display column per table.
Select a field as the table display value
http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Dictionary_Attributes
ref_ac_columns | list of field names separated by semi-colons | any reference field with an auto completer (see ref_auto_completer) | Specifies the columns whose display values should appear in an auto completion list in addition to the name. See the cmdb_ci field ("Configuration Item") on the Incident form for a working example. |

I guess you want to add fields from reference table ( table B ) in your list view of table A
you can do it via personalizing the list view and doing dot walk on reference field.
How to show dot walked fields in the list view ?
this is about personalizing form view.
