1. The Schiphol train platfrom for a direct train to Amsterdam Centraal may vary, depending which train at what hour you take.
There are electonic message boards that give the first connection to Amsterdam Centraal in the Plaza Hall; see: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/tp/18636f

2. The same as for 1. For the right Amsterdam Centraal train platform for a direct Schiphol train check the station info boards.
Bus 58 at Schiphol is OK (look for a busstop overview map sign just outside the Plaza hall).

3. As for 2. Check the info boards first for a direct train to Den Haag Centraal. Tram 9 is OK.

4. Looks OK (by that time you will be an expert at the Amsterdam CS).
It's a 15 minutes walk from the Koog Zaandijk station to the Zaanse Schans.


Sunset at 21.00 is not that bright. Can be cloudy and grey.

2 hours are enough for the Anne Frank house. Are you buying tickets in advance to avoid a long waiting time in the queue?


Schiphol train tickets; see:

You can buy the train tickets yourself at a vending machine that accepts major credit cards and where you can set the language to English. Just buy a second class ticket! (that's not the deafault setting that will be presented).

Schiphol ATM; see:

You have two ticket options:
The old fashioned way: Seperate train tickets for the train rides and a "Strippenkaart" for the Amsterdam trams & busses, the bus 58 to the Keukenhof ( or you buy a combined bus ride/Keukenhof entrance ticket) and the The Hague tram 9

or

use the new electronic ticket (re-chargable with money at soecial machines); more info at: http://www.ov-chipkaart.nl/allesoverdeov-chipkaart/
