my take...(assuming loc captured already)

Establish landing config...
MCP Alt window - Airfield elev +1000'
LVL Change - Press
Approach mode - Arm

(you will end up going down at about 2000fpm...)

Now, exactly what cosmo says, but a different take. When 1 dot high on the glide (and closing rapidly), then manually increase thrust to about 40% N1 (so they are spooled up a little - A/T will be at arm at this moment). When the glide captures everything should come together - All you need to do is set missed alt on MCP.

But there are a thousand ways....
