Magnetic and topological properties along with quantum correlations in terms of several entanglement measures have been investigated for an antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 XY model in the presence of transverse magnetic field and XZX$-$YZY type of three-spin interactions. Symmetries of the spin Hamiltonian have been identified. Under the Jordan-Wigner transformation, the spin Hamiltonian converted into spinless superconducting model with nearest neighbor hopping and Cooper pairing terms in addition to next nearest neighbor Cooper pairing potential. Long range antiferromagnetic order has been studied in terms of staggered spin-spin correlation functions, while the topological orders have been characterized by winding numbers. Magnetic and topological phase diagrams have been prepared. Faithful coexistence of magnetic and topological superconducting phases is found in the entire parameter regime. Boundaries of various quantum phases have been marked and positions of bicritical points have been identified.
