Just start of with 2 exercises per muscle (group) 3 sets of 6 reps a weight that is light enough to reach 4 reps but high enough that you can no go past 6 reps. You will need to spend a day just experimenting to find out were that weight is for you specifically. Additional stuff like cardio should be done twice a week for no more then 20-30 minute sessions and no more then a hour to an hour and a half of cardio should be done a week.
To much cardio destroys your muscles and saps the strength from them also do cardio after weight training not before, as for abs do them twice a week once on Monday and once on Friday , just do your basic ones to start out with like crunches, sit ups etc. And most importantly have good nutrition and proper form, proper form will give you more size and defition then slugging around heavy weights with bad form, and proper nutrition will allow your body to get what it needs to grow.
It will depend on what you want out of your gym membership... increased cardio endurance, muscle building, leaning out, etc.
Go for basic exercises at the gym, like lat pull downs, bench press, etc... don't be afraid to ask questions, and while you're doing your sets, watch and learn from others. Don't load up the weights at first, that will come with time.
