OpenGL is a little much for someone with no programming experience

+1

Python with pygame (basically a high-level SDL wrapper) has a short enough learning curve if the OP is willing to learn how to program, though.

It really depends what sort of game you wanna make XD

I've had years of experience with Game Maker, then I moved onto Flash. I would begin in Game Maker, but don't get too attached to it. I've been making games for maybe 7 years, and it was a good decision to move on. Also, Flash works best with vectors, and Game Maker has a built in pixel-graphic editting software. So for you---Game Maker. Also, be sure to get the registered version, it's definitely worth it.
