Waypoints would be the best way for you to create paths.

If your not that great in programming, there are options available on the asset store including Path, Simple Path, and RAIN AI- that in particular states it has a click and drop model for automatic waypoint set up. It may totally be worth the trouble of trying to do it all yourself. I would suggest checking them all out and figuring out what would be best for you.

You're probably looking for waypoint system. I have my own custom one, but these helped me out a lot in the past:
