Set up a path with a stroke.. and tick the "round end caps" option on the Stroke Panel.



If you then want these areas to be shapes rather than stroked paths... merely choose Object > Expand from the menu.

"I don't like the final result" is completely unclear.. Round caps apply perfectly rounded caps. Why is it "not liked" specifically? Why can't you adjust the paths after the cap is applied so you may like it?

In the Layers panel, target the items you want to round.
If you want to round a specific attribute of an object, such as its fill or stroke, target the object in the Layers panel and then select the attribute in the Appearance panel.

Choose Effect > Stylize > Round Corners. (The command is located in the first Stylize sub-menu.)

To define the curvature of the rounded curve, enter a value in the Radius text box, and click OK.

There is a plugin from Astute Graphics* (they charge, but have a 14 day trial), which is very good - my personal favorite.
