This won't work: you need to request commands to get electrostatic potentials.
You can either:

(1) Study the example in $AMBERHOME/AmberTools/test/antechamber/g09

(which might have to be modified slightly, via the -gv flag, for earlier
versions of Gaussian);

(2) go to the R.E.D.DB. web site, where there are lots of tools to compute
resp charges; your molecule may already be in their database.

It is "possible" to use B3LYP, but the results won't be consistent with any of
the other charges in the Amber force field.
