Should it be difficult to get a spot on the train if I do not buy them in advance, or will it be easy to do so in December? Thanks!

I do not know the answer, however I have just travelled from Korea to the UK using theBeijing Moscow train.
You can pre book a ticket with CITS (Chinese Tourist authority) and pick it up before departure from their office, they give the ticket at cost price unlike the booking authority.
You can have 4 berth compartments or two (1st class), it's worth paying the extra on the trans mongolian,
The contact at CITS is Chen Hong email below, you can pay by Paypal or bank draft but not credit card.
If you want any more information get in touch.
