Here's the steps that I made my OS in
printing to screen
memory manager
GDT
IDT
IRQ
Timer (not really needed)
Keyboard
But, you can build your OS in almost any order.

Do you not know a feasible language? (like C/C++, pascal, assembly, ect.)
if you don;t know a language, I don't recommend learning it by writing an OS....I did that, and well..it took me a long time to really code properly..(and some still say my coding style is out-of-whack) plus you will not learn the C library very well in most cases..
