You can get the location like this:

private void tableLayoutPanel1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    int row = 0;
    int verticalOffset = 0;
    foreach (int h in tableLayoutPanel1.GetRowHeights())
    {
        int column = 0;
        int horizontalOffset = 0;
        foreach(int w in tableLayoutPanel1.GetColumnWidths())
        {
            Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(horizontalOffset, verticalOffset, w, h);
            if(rectangle.Contains(e.Location))
            {
                Trace.WriteLine(String.Format("row {0}, column {1} was clicked", row, column));
                return;
            }
            horizontalOffset += w;
            column++;
        }
        verticalOffset += h;
        row++;
    }
}
