What websites did you try ?
First, you need to buy Bitcoins (1 Bitcoin = 1.9 Euro). This is done at an Exchange.
Do you have a Bank account that allows you to make a wire transfer (depositing money to another bank account) ? You can then use the Exchange Intersango (https://intersango.com). This is the preferred, simplest and cheapest option. It can take several days.
Do you need another payment method ? Paypal is an option by using VirWox (https://www.virwox.com/) to buy Linden Dollars (SLL) and exchange those for Bitcoins (BTC). This is more complicated and more expensive. It is also faster.
Once you have Bitcoins, you can transfer them from your Exchange account to your wallet on Silk Road. Let me know if you need help with that step.

Or you could visit an SR exchanger and get your btc in minutes. Read the vendors main page by clicking their name. Familiarize yourself with their payment options. Ask if you still have any questions after following the first two steps. Visit MoneyGram or a Western Union store near you if all else fails. Somebody could help you I am sure.
Not every exchanger will rip you off! Do you homework.
