Easier than that -- just copy the iTunes folder itself. Everything is in there, including all the music files and the library database.

Of course, that's if you have iTunes set to automatically keep the iTunes folder organized and copy songs to that folder when adding to its library (both checkbox settings in the Advanced tab of iTunes Preferences). I've had mine set that way, and I don't see any reason to do otherwise.
