The amount to put back in should be in your manual.

Drain whatever comes of the drain plug -- you will get ~4Q out. Then close the drain plug and pour ~4Q fresh ATF into the tranny (the dipstick is right over the tranny -- cannot miss it). Then go with the flush, stop the process once you get out 8Q thro the return line, since the capacity of the tranny is 10Q (8Q thro return line + 4Q drained from drain plug = 12Q). That is it done.... Enjoy, as simple as changing engine oil.
