Endlessly debatable.....Yesterday is the most played/covered.....Hey Jude is their biggest single in the United States....I Want to Hold Your Hand was their biggest selling single worldwide...hard to tell really.

I could agree on Yesterday, but I can mentiion that after working in a kindergarden here in Norway, I have only knowingly encountered two children under seven who didn't know the refrain of Yellow submarine
You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don't need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it's the very best, and it's the part I give most willingly.

yet your question did not specify children (tho I'm sure that is a good call on their behalf).

No, of course My point was simply that if so many six year old in 2003 knows it (just like I knew it at that age back in '94) it's merely a possible indicator. I just mentioned how it had become an accepted children's song

Help! is pretty well known. It's been covered in movies as well as a commercial I think. But then all of the others mentioned are equally well known! Speaking of children, the first graders in my class can sing MANY of the Beatles early hits as well as a few of the later ones like All You Need is Love. Basically, Beatle songs are SO part of our culture it's hard not to know many of them by the time your 3! So how could you pick one thats most famous? That's hard!
I actually knew zero Beatles songs for quite a while....Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together" along with "Yellow Submarine" from my choir class were the first I got to know of them....and that was in fifth and seventh grade respectively.....I honestly hadn't heard more than five Beatles songs until 1 came out and my friend played it at a party once....and even then, I never heard them again until I purchased Abbey Road. So I guess it is possible for someone to listen to lots of rock music and somehow avoid them all together, as I never even heard an actual Beatles studio track until the year 2000.
EDIT: On a side note, I did hear "Free as A Bird" around the time the Anthology came out, but that was about it.
