Get in Netherlands by plane

Schiphol Airport, near Amsterdam, is a European hub, and after London, Paris and Frankfurt the largest of Europe. It is by far the biggest international airport in the country, and a point of interest in itself, being 4 metres below mean sea level (the name actually translates as Hollow of ships).
From Schiphol there are excellent railway connections: The Hague, Amsterdam, Utrecht and most large cities have a direct train service. The train station at Schiphol is located underground, under the main airport hall. The train is the quickest and cheapest way to get to Amsterdam, or indeed anywhere else outside the vicinity of the airport.
Taxis are expensive: legal taxis have blue number plates, others should be avoided.
Some hotels in Amsterdam, and around the airport, have a shuttle bus service.
Other international airports are

• Rotterdam Airport
• Eindhoven Airport
• Maastricht/Aachen Airport
• Groningen-Eelde Airport

Get in Netherlands by train

From France and Belgium: The Thalys high-speed train, which connects the Netherlands with France and Belgium, is a bit expensive, but if you book a return in advance or if you're under 26 or over 60 you can get good deals. It is also faster, normally cheaper and more convenient than flying. For trips to Brussels or Antwerp it is usually cheaper - and almost as fast - to catch the Benelux train, which runs hourly from Amsterdam, via Schiphol, The Hague, Rotterdam, Dordrecht and Roosendaal. No seat reservations are required - just buy your ticket and get on board. Between Maastricht and Brussels runs a new hourly intercity service called the Maastricht Brussel Express, which also stops at Liege and Brussels Airport. Maastricht-Liege takes around 30 minutes, Maastricht-Brussels takes about 1½ hours. Tickets can be bought at the stations or online on Express' website
From Germany : The ICE high-speed train, runs from Frankfurt to Amsterdam, via Cologne, Düsseldorf, Arnhem, and Utrecht.
Intercity trains run from Berlin and Hannover to Amsterdam, via Osnabrück, Hengelo, Deventer, Apeldoorn and Amersfoort.
