You don't have to decide which N'EX to take for your travel back to the airport until later. When you do you will have to go to a JR station to exchange the voucher for a ticket with a reserved seat.
You can reserve your return N'EX ticket at any JR station in Tokyo that has a "midori no madoguchi" ticket office, identifiable by the green four-leaf clover symbol if you don't want to make that decision right away.
