congratulations on your new puppy vMJv. the 1st few weeks would be tiring as your puppy gets used to his new surroundings. when i got my puppy, i was grouchy as hell. he would whine, whine, whine... bark bark bark...stop....and the cycle repeats himself all over again. your might try to exhaust your pup just a lil before he goes to bed... tat way, after a while of whinning, he'll get tired soon enough and go to bed.
as much it would seem that the crate is a cruel thing to do, some people believe that dog's love their own space and giving them a crate is like giving them a lil home of their own. and getting them use to it at a young age would help, just in case in the future he need to be placed in one for travel or anything else.. as for the bed, i wouldn't suggest you buying him a bed just yet since he's not toilet trained and may go on the bed.
have patience and soon you'll have a adorable lil boy!!
