Hi Diana Sounds like you've had some fun with AppleID's. They can be a bit of work sometimes ;) First thing I'd probably start with is looking on each device and see what AppleID is being used where for the AppleStore. Then if need be, once you have them listed you could sign out of the different ID's and sign in with the combined one. (You wouldn't need to do iCloud, as you do want those using different IDs). Once you have them listed, then yes, you should be able to log out/ in and change or adjust them to make them one again.
Hope that helps. (If you still get stuck, then I'm happy to have a look at it as well if easier).
