If you don't know exactly which train you want on the return, you can just have that be a ticket without a seat reservation. Later you'll need to exchange that for a reservation ticket at a JR ticket office.

ETA: the beverage/snacks service takes only yen and Suica. All the more reason to get the N'EX & Suica combo.
I like the limo bus door-to-door service to/from my hotel. It's available with the Suica for free if you purchase a RT ticket at the airport counter, approximately 6,000 yen RT. The Suica Tokyo public subway ticket can b used any time within six months IIRC.
