Any iron test requires a 12 hour fast (water allowed) so it's always best to book the earliest time of the morning for that so you don't have to wait too long for your breakfast. Other than that, I haven't seen anything about circadian rhythm for all those so I don't know if there is a best time that would suit all of them to be done together.
