Bonjour Sukanya !
That's a trickier question than it looks :)
Indeed, in French when you say "Je suis excité(e)", it immediately takes a sexual connotation.
And you would NOT use it like that: "Je suis excité(e) de ..."
You could however use the following expressions:
"Je suis excité(e) à l'idée de "
or "Je suis impatient(e) [à l'idée] de "
If you have a specific sentence in mind, please let me know, and I'll give you the best equivalent possible ;)
À bientôt !
