cupboards in kitchen are from the 60s or 70s. ugly brown but in excellent condition. I got new countertop and a very pretty backsplash, but really want to change the color to a shade of light green or antique creamy color. what steps do I take and what is the best paint to use. I don't want to chalk paint.

You can do a light sanding to get the surface roughed up, prime with a good primer and paint with a cabinet paint. Its a little labor intensive, but should look great when you are done.
Here is how I painted my cabinets without sanding and sealing using Valspar Cabinet paint. You can try it on the inside of one of your doors to see if paint adheres well to the laminate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko5CsLqNIZQ&t=1s
