I can't tell you exactly what screws to get, but if you carry the handle to a hardware store, just get two to fit.

To replace the handle, you'll need to remove the interior door panel. Once you put the handle back in place, you will see the holes that line up. You'll probably even be able to retrieve the original screws from the bottom of the door. On the back of the handle, you'll see what looks like a little bracket sticking out with two arms. Those arms cradle a little barrel that screws onto a vertical post that operates the latch. That barrel screws up or down on the post to adjust, and has a little spring to return it to the normal position. On the rear door, you will probably need to maneuver the handle into position: once it's screwed down, there won't be enough room to get the vertical rod into position. All clear now?
