Download that stellarium, it makes finding the planets easier! I'm new at this as well & probably have the exact same eyepieces with my SW 120x600mm refractor, i'm getting Jupiter with the 25mm +2.5 barlow first, focus, then switching out to the 10mm piece, bit of a refocus & I've got Jupiter, 2 bands & 4 moons noticeable, Mars is smaller, Saturn has rings showing, so your gear should work, practice on the focusing, as raymo said they get bigger, then sharpen up when they go smaller.
