I'm a big fan of
Strocchi's Introduction to the Mathematical Structure of Quantum Mechanics where the first couple of chapters give a very nice, concise introduction to (and derivation of!) the C*-algebraic background to quantum mechanics. If you really want to do things rigorously, you'll of course end up with the four volumes of Reed and Simon... of course, these sources are for quantum mechanics, not QFT per se, which is a different kettle of fish entirely.
If you want to carry on with the algebraic formalism in QFT you'll end up with local QFT which involves assigning an algebra of observables to regions of spacetime.
