I am finding tough to align the label and textboxes using Div’s. If I use tables for forms, it will be easy. Does this affect my seo, or not?

The main advantage for DIV/CSS-based layouts over tables for SEO is the ability to more precisely control the placement of SEO-friendly text in the source file.
Image a three column layout with dynamic content in the center column, while largely static, SEO-neutral content like navigation and ads are placed in the other two columns. With a DIV/CSS layout you can place the HTML for the center column at the top of the page with the navigation and ad columns HTML coming after. Search engines will see the fresh, SEO-friendly center column content first, theoretically giving the site a rankings bump.
HTML forms aren’t taken into consideration for SEO so feel free to use tables. Disabuse yourself of the “tables are bad for SEO” heuristic. It’s not so much that tables are bad, but that in certain circumstances DIV/CSS can be better.
