How do i make my lawn thick and greener?

My lawn is about 4 and half weeks old. I just cut it first time a few days ago. Should i apply fertilizer or lime anytime soon. I live in Dover Delaware, and its a fescue grass, mixed with annual rye. I want my lawn to become luciously green, and thick. I understand it is going to take some time....but what can i do right now. Suggestions will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

1. After you second mowing, apply and all nitrogen fertilizer at half rate. That mean something like a 33-0-0 product at 3 lbs per thousand feet. Water at least one inch per week Aerate in the fall. Mow every 4-5 days with a SHARP blade. Lawn will look great.
