It's like a lot of things... They can seem daunting initially but once you know your way around a bit, it's not too hard.
A records are the main ones (the A stands for address) and CName records are sort of like alias records (I don't recall what it stands for). CName records can be useful if you host multiple sub domains on the same server. The only other record type really worth knowing for this level of adjustment are MX records; they are the ones for your email server.
Oh and if your domain name provider is different from your DNS provider then you'll need to give the NS (name server) records of the later to the former (but to just point to your AWS instance you shouldn't need to worry about that.
No worries :)
