In a custom module, use this code, and don't forget to replace MYMODULE_ with your module machine name :

function MYMODULE_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  switch ($form_id) {
    case 'my_content_type_node_form': // Replace my_content_type with yours
      $form['#submit'] = array_merge(array('MYMODULE_my_content_type_node_form_submit'), $form['#submit']);
    break;
}

function MYMODULE_my_content_type_node_form_submit(&$form, &$form_state) {
  $initial_values = $form_state['build_info']['args'][0];
  $form_state['redirect'][] = drupal_get_destination();
  $form_state['redirect'][] = array('destination' => 'node/' . $initial_values->nid . '/edit');

  unset($_GET['destination']);
  $_GET['destination'] = 'node/' . $initial_values->nid . '/edit';
  drupal_static_reset('drupal_get_destination');
  drupal_get_destination();
}
