It is kicking my butt. I know practice makes for muscle memory etc. I just can't get it right. Any advice is welcome.

If the problem is that strings are not sounding good, practice your barre seperately. If the problem is that you need A LOT of time to put your fingers in F major position than practice changing to F major and from F major from/to different chords you already know.
