I dunno, the Europass for railways looks quite expensive, plus you need to buy an add-on for the Netherlands.

Maybe the Eurostar trains are a better alternative:

Gets you quite quickly from London to Paris, and Brussels... yet the leg from Brussels to Amsterdam will take quite long since trains cannot run high speed yet through the Netherlands.

I guess flights will cost you about the same amount of money.

Once here, and knowing how much time is available/restricted on your itinerary, your best arrangement is always to have an open date for each transportation mode (where applicable) for should you not utilize for whatever reasons, you can still redeem unused tickets. Train tickets gets full refunds unlike air tickets charge accordingly with Admin fees etc... but ask in advance before paying for it.

Have fun and see & taste as much as you can of Holland naturally ;)

Hey there,
well firstly you should specify if you want a cheap travel or an easy one. I'm asking because the Europass is relatively easy to use but kind of more expensive than the normal train ticket rates. But if you don't want to get confused with connections of trains and etc. than it's best for you to choose the Europass.
Good luck with your choice and have fun in Europe :)

I went to Paris from Amsterdam and back and by train it costed 94 euros( the cheapest option, because i had to change in Brussels, by the way i could stay in Brussels a slong as i wanted ( see the city also), because trains go evry half an hour from Brussels to Paris and you can take any of them having a ticket). when you are going by train from Amsterdam or to Amsterdam try to buy tickets through officail website. http://www.nshispeed.nl/
It's cheaper and you can find really cheap tickets if buy two months beforehand ( around 25 euros).there are special offers sometimes too. have a look ! Good luck.

I'd buy seperate tickets, but book them well in advance. London to Amsterdam is as little as Euro 50 one way and Amsterdam Paris Euro 34 one way. See www.nshispeed.nl for online tickets.
