validation;
alert("message");
});

I've changed your click event to a mousedown (so it fires first) and used a variable to track your click :

var buttonClicked = false;

$('#txt1').focusout(function(){
    if(!(buttonClicked)){
        alert('BlurEvent');
    }else{
        buttonClicked = false;
    }
});

$('#btn').mousedown(function(event){
    alert('ClickEvent');
    buttonClicked = true;
});

EDIT

var buttonClicked = false;

$('#txt1').focusout(function(){
    if(!(buttonClicked)){
        // do normal focusout code.
    }else{
        // button was clicked - dont execute some code.
        buttonClicked = false;
    }
    //this always executes regardless of focusout or button click
    var reply =confirm("Are you happy with the input?");
});

$('#btn').mousedown(function(event){

    buttonClicked = true;
});
