Unless things have changed in the most recent version of ITunes, you
should be able to convert it there. Once your mp3 file has been placed
in your library and selected in the playlist, on windows, the command
control+i should open up an area where you can change the information
for that file, artist, track number, etc. I believe it's the advanced
tab where you can determine the length, by selecting the start and end
times of the file. Be sure to select Apple Lossless Encoder under the
import settings in the preferences and it should then give you the
ability to convert from mp3 to m4a. If you select the new file in your
ITunes playlist, control+i under the advanced tab again, you should have
an option that will let you choose ringtone as the type. If not, you can
manually change the extension yourself from .m4a to .m4r. You can
quickly reach the actual file by using the applications key on the file
you want in the playlist and pressing enter on show in windows explorer.
Sorry I'm unable to provide more in depth directions, I'm not familiar
at all with the new layout of ITunes, but, hopefully it's enough to get
you up and going.
Take care.

There are several converters that should allow going from .mp3 to an
.m4a. In order to keep the length of the files short though, normally
around 30 seconds for a ringtone, I've always done the conversion within
ITunes.
The extension for the ringtones is simply the .m4a filetype with its
extension changed.
I'm still using an older version of ITunes that has the sidebar, but, if
you need help figuring it out, I can give it a shot.
Take care.
