This is just a question with so many answers.
have you tried the puppet enterprise quick start guide ?
It is a good way to learn the concepts and get you started quickly.
Get in touch with local puppet users. Looks to me you are dutch
speaking, so get in touch with the dutch or belgian puppet user group.
https://puppetlabs.com/community/PUG for the list.
Just start writing a simple module, learn 'puppet apply' for
test/execute your module.

I read that document, however, it doesn't provide me the answer.
Should I write, in general, my own modules? Or should I use predefined
modules?
And I if use predefined modules, should the configuration of those
modules happen all in site.pp? (Which sounds me like a big file which
is getting harder to read the more you need to configure). In the
modules itself? Or do you have to write modules which will start those
modules?

Looks like you might want to start here:

Also check up on how to do hiera lookups from within puppet3.
Other than that, structuring your modules tends to be a bit
site-dependent.
