This seems to be a common "sell" at some auto service centers now days. Personally I would most definatley say change your transmission fluid and filter and FLUSH the system at 60,000 miles. It is a good investment for your money as many automatic transmission problems today can be caused by bad fluid. A caution here! Make sure whoever changes the fluid is knows what they are doing and uses the proper high quality fluid and filter especially if it's a Chrysler product and stay away from additives. Changing and flushing the power steering fluid shouldn't be very expensive but unless the fluid is dirty I wouldn't advise it unless you plan on keeping the vehicle for a long time. The brake fluid change in my opinion is a gimick UNLESS it shows signs of moisture or rust. In that case I would say change and flush it. Basically if your having a shop do the work find a good reputable mechanic that you can trust.
