At least on the War Museum/tours front, here are some suggestions.
For the Normandy Beaches, I would highly suggest Overlord Tours like many have said, they were absolutely wonderful, and if nothing else, take a look at where they take you if you want to do Normandy self directed.
Brussels has a terrific War Museum, with one of the more extensive WWI collections that I have seen.
LINK, it is right next to the Monument du Cinquantenaire.
If in Paris, check out Les Invalides, it houses Napoleon's tomb and is another awesome war museum.

Both wars. Thanks for the suggestions. This is what I’m looking for
I really enjoyed visiting the Somme (which is a weird thing to say, I know). Being able to walk through the trenches and see the craters had a big impact. The trenches are incredibly preserved there. Also visited two museums, several monuments and a graveyard during the self guided tour. Easily completed in one day driving from Paris and stayed in Amiens that night before heading to Bayeux.
For those who have heard Dan Carlin podcast, I found Charles May grave and reflected back on what those guys must have gone through.
