My advice would be don't even think about your fretting hand at the moment. Don't even worry about what strings to pick or in what order. Timing is the most important thing to consider. As long as you are picking strings in time you're finger picking. Once your fingers get used to playing a pattern (and it doesn't have to be a consistent pattern this early on) you'll be well on your way.
You can practice picking without even holding your guitar. Ever sat and rapped your fingers? just make sure the first movement of a pattern is with your thumb then go back to your thumb on the beat.
When I began finger picking many years ago I used the TITM method. Thumb followed by index followed by thumb followed by middle. Throw in a pinch (two or more strings together) now and then and bingo.
I would try and start with an easier tune to play though. Something simple played well is so much more satisfying to both player and listener.
