'verbinden' and 'kombinieren' can both describe several things coming together in one thing. 'verbinden' is more general and emphasizes the connection between the parts. 'kombinieren' is used when you deliberately put things together so that they fit well or form a meaningful whole together. Learners may confuse the words because in both cases several elements come together. If you want to emphasize the relationship between the parts, 'verbinden' fits. If you mean a selection or mixture, 'kombinieren' is more natural.
