How to assemble a 2 stage epicyclic gear train

I am trying to design a 2 stage epicyclic geartrain in Creo. i have assembled the sun, planet and ring gears of the two stages separately. how do I assemble the two stages together? the output from the planet carrier of the first stage would be the input to the sun gear of the second stage through a splined shaft.
What constrains should I use and where?
Or should i assemble everything in one assembly? Any help would be appreciated.

Are you asking how to properly constrain them in the context of a kinematic analysis or just assembling them relative to one another in space?
