You are right for the first character.

However, the second character is not 得. It is 禄 and means "official salary". The thrid character, 寿, means "life" or "age".

Combined together, 福禄寿 generally represents fortune or prosperity, high status or position, and longevity. It was originated from 道教 (Taoism). You can find more explaination here on Wikipedia about Sanxing.
