Similarities between all three:
--All follow the prophet Abraham
--All three follow what they believe is a divinely inspired book (Tanakh for Jews, Bible for Xians, Qur'an for Muslims)
--According to Xianity, they all believe in One G-d, but according to Jews and Muslims, the trinity is a polytheistic idea.
--All originated in the Middle East

Similarities between Jews and Muslims:
--the 5 pillars of Islam are all based off things in Judaism (I have details if you need them)
--have specific dietary laws, called kashrut (kosher) for Jews and halal for Muslims
--Both worship the same G-d, just under different names, Allah and HaShem
--both believe in standards of modesty in clothing, hijab for Muslims and tznius for Jews
--Both pray a certain number of times every day, Muslims 5 and Jews 3
--Both fast at certain times in the year (Muslims for a month during Ramadan and Jews on certain days like Yom Kippur and Tisha B'av)
--Both have separate calendars from the Gregorian calendar

Similarities between Xians and Jews
--Xians accept the Old Testament as part of their Bible
--Both called "People of the Book" by Muslims

Similarities between Muslims and Xians
--Both accept the Bible as valid (to some degree)
--both believe in JC as a holy man

Differences between Muslims and Xianity and Judaism
--Qur'an is not accepted as truth
--Muhammad is not held as a prophet

Differences between Muslims and Xians
--halal vs. nothing
--trinity is viewed as polytheistic
--Islam is more Eastern whereas Xianity is more Western

Differences between Xians and Jews
--Jews do not believe in JC as a prophet or a god or the messiah
--Jews believe that nobody can die for anyone else's sins
--Jews do not believe in proselytizing (witnessing)
--Jews believe that you do not have to be Jewish to get to heaven
--the Trinity is considered polytheism according to Judaism
--Judaism does not always take the Bible 100% literally

That's all I have, I think.

The Basic Difference is the Differing Theology of Jesus Christ. The other similarities and differences are too numerous for this forum..... Invest in a copy of World Religions Made Easy by Barbour Press

They all believe in separate Gods for a start. Even though they believe in one God that doesn't automatically mean it's the SAME God. Jews don't generally believe in heaven/hell. Muslims don't believe Jesus is God, and Christians believe in the Trinity.

I guess how they see Jesus is important. Jews believe he was a false prophet. Christians believe he was an incarnate of God and accept him as their savior, as he died for their sins. Muslims believe he was just a prophet of Allah, ascended to heaven after he died, but is separate from Allah.
