Purchased a first class ticket from Berlin to Budapest. Do not want to be an uninformed tourist so my question is do you tip on the train for service or help with luggage ?

I want to travel from Prague to Berlin around late November. I know that the price for a 1-way ticket is Euro 50.6. Do I need to buy the ticket in advance, if so, how many days in advance? Or can I just buy it at the station on the day of?
