Pick up the D&D Starter Kit for 5E. It has the quick start rules (which your players can also download in PDF) and some pre-gens. Best of all, it has a very good campaign, the Lost Mines of Phandelver, that you can run for months. Aside from maybe the Moldvay Basic D&D boxed set released in 1982, the 5E Starter Set is the best introduction to D&D in the game's history.
Just to get a heads up, what would you recommend after Lost Mines of Phandelver?
