Milan to Rimini by train is going to be your most convenient way to travel.
Trains are quite frequent and several go direct from Milano Centrale to Rimini.
Others stop at Bologna Centrale where you will have to change trains.
The journey times vary dependant upon whether its a direct service or not.
The range is between 2 3/4 hours and 3 3/4 hours.
Prices vary also from around 30 euros o 42 euros.

Dominic has given you the train information - it should be quite easy by train.

However, you need to figure out which airport in Milan you are coming in to, as there are 2 official ones, and a third that the discounter airlines call "Milan" (actually Bergamo). I say this because getting from the airport to the train station (as Dominic says, Milano Centrale station makes the most sense) is different depending on which airport you are coming in to....let us know...

Oh, also note that when you look at the trenitalia website that Dominic showed you, that there will likely be different types of trains along this route, and that the faster trains are more expensive. However, sometimes, the slower trains aren't much slower but are much cheaper...you should spend some time on that website looking at the different trains and times and fares...
