Need dumbell exercise routine help.

I'm really stuck with what type of dumbell exercises I should be doing. I'm thinking that I should do

Monday (Chest/Shoulder/Triceps)
Wednesday(Back/Biceps)
Friday (Legs/Abs)

But I have no idea what type of dumbell exercises I should be doing for each muscle group. I don't have a bench so this will limit me a bit, although I have floor space so I can lay down.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me devise a plan as I keep swapping and changing things up and I fear I wont progress in the long run.

Cheers

I don't know which exercises do which muscle groups though, so I wouldn't know where to place them.

Cheers
