Is there a slightly stiff link in the chain from installation? The wrong sized chain shouldn't make it skip unless it is inadequately tensioned by the derailleur. If the chain is tensioned in the small-small combination you should be OK there. To check for excess wear on the chainrings, look for sloppiness of chain around chainring, or chain not seating firmly to the bottom of the teeth.

Where does it skip? In the front or the back? You could try adjusting the indexing, but it sounds like maybe your front chainrings are worn. Have you checked for bent teeth or things like that?
