Is this what you want?
set CurrentUser to do shell script "whoami"
set ThePath to "/Users/" & CurrentUser & "/Library/Preferences/"

tell application "System Events"
	set userName to name of current user --your login (lowercase) username.
	set userPosixFolder to POSIX path of home folder --your home folder.
end tell
