Photoshop + Illustrator + InDesign

The Holy Trinity of print.

As for Fireworks, why bother trying it if you already know how to use PS? It takes roughly a week to learn the basics anyway.

Because you can do vector things faster in Fireworks ;) You might as well download 30-day trials and give them all a go. No reason not to...

Everyone has their preference of application, it's just a case of finding the one you're comfortable with.
 
Personally I've used the holy trinity mentioned above. Not really a fan of illustrator, I'm more a raster kinda guy myself. Indesign was nice when I was working on catalogue design but really photoshop is all you need for advertisements. Did a bunch of them for a furniture shop I was working in last summer.

As mentioned above just look through a bunch of tutorials. Personally I prefer to just work through it myself and figure things out that way but that's for when you have 5 years of time to work with ;)
 
Photoshop for image, InDesign for layout and typography, Illustrator for vector (logo's etc.) Use these 3 correctly and you don't need anything else for print design.

Quark ;) depends what kind of print design you are in really? I mean I work in print management and so deal with artwork in various formats daily. I would say Quark is a well used format.
