There are a number of reasons wiper blades may squeak. Normally, its a sign that they need to be replaced. As rubber gets older and older, it loses its elasticity and becomes more and more rigid which leads to streaks, viberating/chatter and squeaks. In extreme cases, it can be a wiper-arm-related problem, but this is rare.
Depending on your weather/climate, how your vehicle is stored, and driving patterns, wipers will last 3 months to 24 months. Most people change them every 6 months or annually. The first step is buying new wipers and see if that is the problem.
If squeaking is still present after buying mid-grade or maximum performance wipers (not cheapies), then you may want to try a glass treatment product like Aquapel which bonds to the glass and helps the glass remain clean and slippery.
When buying windshield wiper blades be sure to always use the application guide book at the store or now-a-days you can Google 'lookup wiper size'.
