By all means, get the kit lens (the 18-70)! It's very sharp, focuses extremely fast, and has a very useful focal length range. I would also say that for the beginning, just get one lens and then try to find out what else you need. You might want more wide-angle rather than telephoto, for example, or a faster lens for portraits and available light (I love my 50/1.8).
I also got a spare battery (Nikon original), and am happy I bought it. It's just useful to have, even if the battery life of the D70 is really great. And I also believe that even with LiIon batteries, charging an (almost) empty battery is better than if its still half full.
