Is this the right combonation of upper body parts that you can work out on the same day?

Biceps and Chest
Triceps and Shoulders

I always forget! TIA

yes you can do that...I usually do
Back and biceps
Chest and Triceps
shoulders and Abs
and a separate day just for legs

I do all upper body in one day. Just make sure you work the larger muscle groups first to prevent muscle failure:

Back
chest
shoulders
triceps
biceps

It doesn't really matter so much, and you can actually change it up.
I do Back and Biceps
Chest and Triceps
Legs
Shoulders

But, you can do Back and Triceps
Chest and Biceps

Shoulders can go really anywhere, but like Farah said, you want to work the larger muscle group first.
Ex. the shoulders are stabilizer muscles when you work your chest. So you want to work your chest first, then your shoulders, not the other way around (you don't want your shoulders to be tired when you're trying to do a bench press).

That is what I do. I alternate between upper and lower and start with the largest muscle of that group. I work my abs everyday.
