One word: Diet! Muscle definition is simply a matter of having a low enough body fat % to see the muscles underneath the fat.
As for the routine, I'd go with 3x10. 2x15 isn't going to really engage enough muscle fibers to add substantial mass to your body.

Best time to do cardio would be right before you strat your weight lifting segment.

I'm going to disagree with this. If you're trying to lose weight, or even if you're not, it's better to do cardio AFTER you lift. If you do it before, you're not going to have as much energy to put up as much weight. I'm assuming by CV you mean cardio vascular stuff, and if you'd like to do that on your non-weight training days, that's great!

That's the exact same routine I'm using, and I took it straight out of Arnold's lifting encyclopedia.. It's very effective to say the least.

If it's working for you, all the more power to you. But for the average person who's weight training without steroids, Arnold's anything isn't the best bet. The routine your pt instructor gave you seems like a good beginner routine. Stick with it until you stop seeing results, then try something else.
finally, about this:

i can only train 6 days a week i want 3 of them for cv

well dude, there's ONLY 7 days in a week, and you're training for almost all of them. How many more do you want!? haha... 3 days of weight training is fine. Your body grows when you let your muscles rest and heal, not when you're tearing them to pieces in the gym. Sounds like you've got a great starting point, and good luck!
