Hope I don't need to write what is Test Case. You can find it anywhere.
Test Bed: The complete test environment on which you are going to execute your test cases. This should include your OS, Hardware, testing tools you are using, bug tracking tools you are using etc.
Test Suite: A collection of tests used to validate the behavior of a product. The scope of a Test Suite varies from organization to organization. There may be several Test Suites for a particular product for example. In most cases however a Test Suite is a high level concept, grouping together hundreds or thousands of tests related by what they are intended to test.

Test Script: Commonly used to refer to the instructions for a particular test that will be carried out by an automated test tool.Now I think you got the definition as well as the difference among them.

Don?t get scared of all these terminologies. It is only a word jugglery.
