Infernal Affairs II is some sort of prequel to Infernal Affairs I, with younger actors playing the same characters at a younger age... You see them both at police school and see their paths go different ways...
I believe that the story of The Departed is more or less IA2 + IA1 (in that order). My mind is a bit of a blur about this right now because I've seen the two films one after the other and seem to merge indeed in one single film, but I believe IA2 is really worth watching if you saw IA1 and equally good (although quite different in tone).
Never seen the third one, and I'm not too sure what the story is in that one.
