That should be a piece of cake. 

Use these autonumber formats:
Chapter:
H:<$chapnum>< =0>< =0>< =0>

Heading 1
H:<$chapnum>.<n+>< =0>< =0>

Heading 2:
H:<$chapnum>.<n>.<n+>< =0>

Heading 3:
H:<$chapnum>.<n>.<n>.<n+>

Then, set up your book correctly: right-click a chapter, then select
Numbering. Use the Chapter tab to set up the chapter number ('continue
numbering from previous file'), and the Paragraph tab to set up the
section numbering within each chapter ('restart paragraph numbering').
