For a start, look for videos of pros and their serves, namely Sampras.

Start out with a simple motion, relatively short backswing, that coordinates the dropping of both arms simultaneously. Make sure your racket drops down behind your head before rising to strike the ball. Knee bend is a good thing to think about, but you don't want to force it. Weight transfer into the ball/court is also key to a good serve, but not necessary to get a good motion and start learning the serve. If you work on some of these things, you will be on track.
