For example:
When typing παιχνιδια.com into Firefox, it is automatically converted to xn--kxadblxczv9d.com
Please suggest a tool for making such a conversion.
One of the easiest is this. Converts and checks for availability at the same time.

You can use any tool that supports "Libidn". A quick search showed SimpleDNS might be of help to you.
There are heaps of converters for IDN online, if that's enough for you, you can use one of them.

Internationalized domain name (i.e. domain names with non-ASCII characters) are encoded using the Punycode system.

A:
You encode and decode IDNA with Python:
>>> print u'παιχνιδια'.encode('idna')
xn--mxaaitabzv9d
>>> print 'xn--mxaaitabzv9d'.decode('idna')

<html>
<title>Punyconverter</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="puny.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
input {width:300px;}
label {width:100px; display:inline-block;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
onload = function( ) {
var ASCII = document.getElementById("ASCII");
var Unicode = document.getElementById("Unicode");
var Input = document.getElementById("Input");
Input.onkeyup=function(){
ASCII.value = punycode.ToASCII( this.value);
Unicode.value = punycode.ToUnicode( this.value);
}
};
</script>
</html>
<body>
