you mixed org-agenda-custom-commands and org-agenda-files. You can set
org-agenda-files as part of org-agenda-custom-commands, but then you
have to define at least one private command as well.

An easier way to start is just setting org-agenda-files alone.
Either with `setq':

(setq org-agenda-files "~/Documents/Notes/org/")

or with `custom-set-variables':

(custom-set-variables
 '(org-agenda-files "~/Documents/Notes/org/"))
