I work for a large on-line travel company and for peace of mind, for a non-experienced traveller, I would definitely recommend using a local independent travel agent (independents have less restrictions on what they are able to book - those in a tour operator chain tend to be somewhat limited to what the tour operator offer). They will give you advice and recommendations based on your requirements. You will also have full ATOL protection which will cover you should any element of your holiday have an issue.
Please don't go to the Agent, then book on-line... the agents provide a great service and we need them to stay in business.
Make sure any package you book includes transfers to and from the airport/hotel as typically, with most on-line package holidays, these are not included as standard.
Also, please remember to get both travel insurance, at the time you book (just in-case something happens and you need to re-arrange), and assuming you are travelling within Europe, you will need EHIC Cards
As to when to book, it doesn't really make that much of a difference to price if you leave it late any more. Years ago there used to be lots of surplus stock and you'd be able to get very good deals on last minute bookings. Following Sept 11th, the tour operators reduced their allocations and have never increased them to the levels they once were. These days you risk availability issues if you book late.
Most importantly, once you have booked, get excited and enjoy your holiday!
