2 new born kittens...

I was quite taken aback by the age of the kittens as well. To be honest with you, it sounds like this vet needs his gene pool filtered. What vet would SELL kittens at 3 weeks of age?? Kittens are usually weaned from their mother by the time they are 8-10 weeks old. That precious baby is crying because he's hungry. Go to the pet store and buy a can of milk supplement (KMR is very good) and a nursing bottle (it should be near the milk supplement). You can either buy it alread mixed or in powder form (you mix it with water). Offer the kitten a bottle and see what happens. I'll guarantee you that he'll wolf it down. You need to feed him in an upright position. Once he's finished eating, you need to take a soft cloth and "stimulate" him to poop and pee. Gently rub his bottom with the cloth till you get him to pee (you'll DEFINITELY know when he's done so That needs to be done everytime you feed him (that's why the mama licks them after they nurse).

He needs to be fed every 2-3 hours.

Make up a box with a towel or old blanket to put the kitty in.

I would definitely report this "vet" to the American Veterinary Association. He sounds like a vet school flunkee to me.

Also...you should not give a cat cow's milk as most cats and kittens are lactose intolerant. A milk supplement like I mentioned above is the best.
Good luck and keep us posted.
