Caulk and paint make me the carpenter I ain't.

Seriously, for what you were attempting to do, this is the best answer. Finishing the top of the shelf, add some led channels under the shelf to light it up, those would be nice touches, but caulk and paint should make it presentable.

Dumb question but what kind of caulk do I use? Just the dap acrylic stuff?

When in doubt, dynaflex 230 is the Swiss army knife of caulk. Others have their uses, but this one is my go to.

That’s probably fine. Make sure it’s paintable (most silicone caulk isn’t paintable). Avoid clear; if your shelves are white, use white caulk (be careful; the labels of white and clear look a lot alike). You don’t need waterproof.
