Like which is the best place to keep a breakpoint and where not to keep it and how to change variable values and check.
P.S. I am new to AX and would be thankful for the help:)

Take a look at Using the Microsoft Dynamics AX Debugger [AX 2012] and Tips & Tricks around debugging X++ code in Dynamics AX. If you have specific questions, you should create separate posts for each in the Development / Customization / SDK forum.
The "proper" way is done by not breaking a couple of simple rules:
- Do not enable global breakpoints and server-side debugging in a Production environment. It negatively affects performance up to 20%.
- Do not put breakpoints in a Production environment even for jobs or things running on client side, under some circumstances it could crash your AOS instance
- Do not use hard breakpoints in X++ code
- Debug class calls are OK during development and testing phase, but do not leave them in Production blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../debugassert-in-x
Other than these, debugging is pretty straightforward both in Debug.exe and in Visual Studio. Altering variable values during the execution is possible in the first scenario (VS type conversions are a bit funky), and also you could drag the execution cursor to a later or previous step if desired.
