Have you had a look at the Seat 61 website? A great resource.

MAV actually has online booking (at least the Hungarian site - I couldn't find it on the English version) but seems a bit clumsy - you need to register, than buy your ticket, than you get a 10-digit code and you'll need to pick up your tix at a kiosk the station
