I've only seen "like better" with the object in between but is it correct to use the object after?
In other words:
I like this one better.
or
I like better this one.
Is only the first one proper/correct?

Your second sentence is not natural English. Ordinarily the only place you would see "like better" is in a question such as:
Which do you like better? The red one or the blue one.
Answer:
I like the red one better.
