For Amsterdam Centraal, Dam Square & Canal Belt, take the NS Train directly beneath Schiphol Plaza (14–17 minutes, €5.20—just tap your contactless debit/credit card at the yellow pole!). However, if your hotel is near Museumplein (Rijksmuseum / Van Gogh), Concertgebouw, or Leidseplein, do NOT go to Centraal Station—take the red Bus 397 (Amsterdam Airport Express) from Platform B17 (28 mins, €6.50 direct)!
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is 17 km southwest of central Amsterdam. The NS railway station sits directly underneath the central arrivals hall (Schiphol Plaza), making it one of the fastest airport-to-city transfers in the world.

Taking the train to Amsterdam Centraal when your hotel is near Museumplein or Leidseplein — you’ll have to backtrack 25 minutes on a tram! Take red Bus 397 outside Schiphol Plaza Platform B17 instead.
Forgetting to tap your bank card at the yellow OVpay pole on Schiphol Plaza before going down the escalator (there are no turnstile barriers at Schiphol, only open yellow reader poles!).
