That's a loaded question because there can be different chord combinations that can work with any one melody.

The best thing to do is find the key of your melody and use chords based out of that key. Knowing music theory goes a LOOONG way here (especially if your melody will dictate the use of an "accidental" which is a chord that doesn't make diatonic sense with the key -- and this happens a LOT in music)
