Hi:You can go to the Beijing Hub of Tour dispatch to take bus there. It will be ￥300 per person (inclusive of bus and entrance fare). It starts 9:00 every day. It takes 2-3 hours to get there. You will have 3 hours for climbing the wall. It is about 5:00 pm when you come back. I think there is no time to have lunch at local restaurant. You‘d better bring some packed lunch along. Another way: take train No.L677 to Gubeikou at Beijing North Station. After getting off the train, you need to hire a taxi to get there. May be 40-50RMB.
