My answer is of Finland, where i live, but the basic facts are the same concerning Norway, that extends even a bit further north, areas more difficult to reach though. Sweden extends less to Lappland than Finland.
This gives you basics.

Northern lights are better the Norther you go. The northernmost holiday "village" in the north is Saariselkä (airport Ivalo), next is Levi (airport Kittilä) then Rovaniemi, where the Santa Claus village is situated.
If you want to do something really different hire a hut or a cabin outside villages from one of these links.

Even the starry sky is a scene in the winter time, you never knew so many stars existed when you are out of the neon lights. Northern Lights also much brighter and better visible alone in wilderness. This requires having (hiring) a car.
Had such a cabin last week-end 10 km from Levi and saw beatiful Northern Lights across the sky on Friday night.

Northern part of Finland.
Best place is Kilpisjärvi, 75 % probability.
After that: Utsjoki 65 %.
Sodankylä 50 %.

That would be in Northern Norway, perhaps at the most northern point of Europen mainland, namely Nordkapp.

My friend went to the north of Finland and said they were spectacular there. I am not really sure other than that. But if you go I hope you have a great experience. (something I would love to live)

ask at your local airport, you can get flights out to see them for about 3 hours, i think it costs about £100 but its well worth the money! my friend went last year and is going again this year she said its the most amazing thing that she has ever seen!!
have fun!!
