If this is your first visit to the Canyon we would recommend the South Rim. We love the North Rim because of less tourists but then we've gone to the Canyon many times. Another vote for Trailer Village at the South Rim. It's near the Canyon rim, the free shuttle stops at the entrance and so convenient for everything.
We wouldn't recommend staying in Williams and taking the tourist train to the Canyon although some folks like it. It's across flat land - not scenic - and you would only have a few hours for visiting the Canyon and you'd have to return to Williams.
We've done the train from Williams, but you can book an overnight stay and then you'll have quite a bit of time to look around.
