The Fighter/Druid multiclass can be customized in many ways with different distribution of levels in each class. However, to get the most out of this build, you should mainly take levels in Druid and only take two levels of Fighter.
Taking a second level of Fighter will unlock Action Surge, which is a great ability you will want to get early. By taking 10 levels of Druid, you will not miss out on too many higher level abilities and still unlock the Level 10 Druid abilities Wild Shape: Dilophosaurus and Improved Wild Strike.
