^^ Most cities are very close to each other. For example: Bruges is about 1.15h away from Brussels, Amsterdam about 2h from Antwerp. You can do all this by car or by train. I would recommend staying about 2 days in each city, just so you can see everything!

Great list, just a few things to add:
Shops:
Princess and Princess Blue (Meir 51 and Schrijnwerkersstraat 7), designer clothing.
Restaurants:
Cafe Verso (see: Verso). Great place to have lunch! Very good quality, fair pricing and they have Moet&Chandon Nectar, also by the glass. Very tasty.
Stereo Sushi (Luikstraat 6) Good quality of asian food, good sushi, place becomes a nightclub after midnight.
Velvet Lounge (Luikstraat 6, same spot as Stereo Sushi). Great fusion restaurant, ambiance is perfect.
