I guess that you want to change sidebar.phtml.

Create New Layout file at Custom Module:

for this case.You need to create a frontend layout file customwishlist.xml from this custom module like this.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Amit_Custommodule>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
        </Amit_Custommodule>
    </modules>
    <!-- start of routers 
    -->
    <frontend>
        <layout>
            <updates>
                <custommodule>
                    <file>customwishlist.xml</file>
                </custommodule>
            </updates>
        </layout>
    </frontend>
</config>

Change template file at new layout file

then on customwishlist.xml file using siderbar.phtml name and using setTemplate function set template .

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<!--
Default layout, loads most of the pages
-->
    <default> <!--  wishlist_sidebar sidebar block name define at wishlist.xml -->
        <reference name="wishlist_sidebar">
              <action method="setTemplate"><template>youpath/customsider.phtml</template></action>
        </reference>
    </default></layout>
