I'm not going to get into detail about what to see in Dutch towns outside of Leiden, but when in Amsterdam the two must-do items are taking a canal cruise (about one hour) and visiting the Rijksmuseum (federal museum), which is the one with the huge Nightwatch painting.
To get around town, walk or take the streetcars. There is one that goes direct from the Amsterdam Centraal train station to the Rijksmuseum; just a couple blocks away is the van Gough museum.
