It depends. How good would you say you are at these games?

Even if you're new to these game, I would start at medium overall. On medium it's a level playing ground. Don't shy away because you think it will be to difficult. You'll learn much quicker when you lose now and then, as long as you can see where you went wrong.

Also, as before mentioned, I don't want the battlefield AI to have any bonuses either! All in all, I've had several entertaining campaings playing vanilla at the M/M difficulty level.

I'd start at Medium/Medium and then progress up to Hard/Hard in Prestige Mode. For some reason prestige mode has much more sane AI at Hard than any of the other modes.
i am new to this game the initial preset difficulty level is too much for me how can i reduce it

When you start a new campaign you should see 2 sliders that you can change the difficulty with.
A word of advice though, read a beginners' guide and try it again on normal difficulty or at least change as soon as you're comfortable with what you're doing. It just isn't fun if there isn't a challenge.

VH/VH makes it unfair against you.
Edit:
After playing for 45 years I have realized that diplomacy is horribly weighted against the player even on H campaign difficulty. I have read that this is the case in quite a few threads posted on this forum. The battle difficulty is not as bad though, so if you want a fair challenge... H/M
