Travel Going to Berlin & Amsterdam

[remainsilly]

Rather than start a new thread, I'd like some advice. Taking my teenage son who loves culture, travel, art/design and is a foodie to Amsterdam for first time.

Am debating between 5 or 6 nights. Was thinking 3 days touring Amsterdam which might include half day or few hours up to Zaans schan. Keep in mind first day we arrive early and likely be exhausted. Then I thought one day trip to Rotterdam and 1 to Hague. That's 5 days. Is 6 better? If I did 6 I thought a day trip to Antwerp, Belgium or tour Amsterdam 4 days including zaans and 2 days of day trips to Hague/delft and Rotterdam

Ps, my son said he would go with me to see museum of bags and purses! Lol.

Any advice appreciated.

Believe I left 2-3 days for Amsterdam area, on Belgium/Netherlands visit.
1/2 day in Den Haag, for Escher museum.
Rijksmuseum could have used another day--immense, lots to see.
Really enjoyed van Gogh museum & cafe.
Recommend museumkaart & advance bookings, as earlier stated in thread.

Also, stop by "coffee shop." And red light district. To observe. Great opportunity to chat with son about Dutch tolerance & your own feelings on topics.

Enjoy trip!
