I would recommend:

"I try my best to maintain good relationships with my brothers and sisters."

After checking the Online Oxford Collocation Dictionary

http://oxforddictionary.so8848.com/search?word=relationship

I looked in Google Books Ngram Viewer and compared the frequency in use of the verbs maintain, keep and have in connection with the word relationship. The most frequently used is the verb have followed closely by maintain while keep showed to be very infrequently used.

Therefore, I would say that you could write either:

I try my best to have a good relationship with my brothers and sisters. 

or

I try my best to maintain a good relationship with my brothers and sisters.
