Let me try to help to tide you over.

You can import a flight plan, which will cover the canned ATC of your choice.  If it is correctly loaded into the FMC, all you do is hit the center autopilot button, then VNAV and LNAV after you take off.  It will go up to whatever you have set on your MCP's altitude window. and follow the route in the FMC.  When it comes time to make your approach, just engage your localilzer when you are on on a heading to intercept the extended centerline of the runway you're landing on.  Make sure the ILS window on the pedestal is showing the correct frequence for your runway, and you have the right course dialed in.

Then just watch the glideslope indicator.  (You must be intercepting from below.)  When it starts to go down, hit the approach button to capture the glideslope.  Should work.
