Can you buy train tickets at Madrid airport?

We are flying into Madrid from London in mid June and then proceeding directly to Toledo. We'd like to take the high speed train, but I'm concerned about tickets. I understand there is a RENFE information booth at the airport. Can you buy tickets there? And if you get a roundtrip ticket, must you specify which precise return train you will need? I assume that seat reservations are a must, but we will not have a good address to have them sent to and may not have an easy way to print them electronically. Hence my interest in buying tickets (if possible) at the airport.

There is a Renfe desk at the Madrid Airport where you can buy train tickets. I would recommend buying them in advance on Renfe's website or u can try calling Renfe's customer service line. I don't know if it still applies, but if you do buy tickets over the phone, you have a limited time period to pick it up, 72 hours if I recall.
Renfe's website lists the train schedules where you can choose your trains Roundtrip tickets would run you about 18 euros

Another alternative, you can drive or take a coach bus.
