Definately don't tackle the job yourself - far too dangerous if you're not sure what you are doing.

For sure, if you feel that unsure and your idea is to look at the current wires and try to copy what's there: don't do it!! Ask a professional to do it or at least get competent advice!

I don’t think you would be able to do it yourself.

you can hammer and broke your nails doing the carpentry job but don't risk a house by doing the electrical yourself. there are a lot of electrician waiting to do that with ease, call them...
