It does sound pretty stressful but if you try to break it down into little pieces it might make it more managable.
First and foremost, setting up the utilities ready for when you move in so you know that everything will be usable once you get there. As you hate setting up stuff initially I reckon getting that one out the way first will help. You could do a different one each day. Electric one day, then phone/internet the next, and cable the next day. Something like that anyway.
Once that's all sorted you can start thinking about furniture. You already pointed out that beds are the priority so start with that one. Take a look around online etc and in stores. I'm not sure what your budget is like so don't know whether you're after new or secondhand. But if new then stores will deliver them for you, maybe with a little added cost but not too much. I find that on amazon there are quite good deals and they would deliver too. Also as luvmydog said you can rent a van if you need to.
When you have moved in you can worry about other furniture then. When I moved into my house a couple of years ago we had a bed and not much else. We would sit on random garden chairs borrowed from our parents and eat dinner on our laps watching films or something on a laptop

we didn't really mind though, we were just happy to be in our own home!
I hope this is of some help to you
