I would like that after splitting the window (C-x 3 or C-x 2) to be able to automatically get to cursor in the new opened buffer (the other than the current). How can I achieve this behavior ?

You can switch between buffers with C-x o. As to do that automatically I don't think there is an existing command for that.
