I've tried several board layouts, but unfortunately the autorouter has only reached 67%. I'd love it if someone could come up with a successful layout, but either way I am in need of tips on how to arrange a board that the autorouter can handle.

For something this small, I personally wouldn't use the autorouter at all
As a general rule, route as much as you can on one layer, and only when you can't route anymore go to the second layer. Also, avoid 90˚ bends, 45˚ just looks better!
Just for reference, here's a board I routed almost completely by hand - once you get the hang of it, it's actually fun!
