Hey i was desinging a buck converter using LM2576 IC.
i have two questions:
1. More Capacitor at input and and output means better, Right ? currently there value are 100uF and 470uF respectively.
2. What should be the value of inductor, i was thinking of 330uH

No, more is not better for a switching regulator.
If you deviate significantly from the values calculated from the data sheet equations, the converter may become unstable and/or not work properly.
