There's so much more interesting and beautiful things to see in the Netherlands that aren't in Amsterdam. And most of it can be reached within an hour or so by train for not much money. Utrecht, Groningen, Leiden, Maastricht, the Veluwe. All much nicer than Amsterdam.

But if you must visit Amsterdam, avoid Lelylaan, it's just a crap station...

We've never been disappointed when we've visited random towns in The Netherlands.
Leiden & Haarlem were both a delight, and we enjoyed our short enforced stop over in Breda (thanks NS).
In particular I'd recommend Haarlem as somewhere to stay if you insist on visiting Amsterdam - it's cheaper and nicer with a good rail connection to 'dam.

In fact the only place we were disappointed with was Amsterdam, but we were in the touristy central area and didn't go exploring.
