I've been there many times, it's a wonderful city. You can get an all day
pass for the canal bus and use that to get around the city (there are also
water taxis). Basically these boats go up and down the canals to marked
stops, and it's a great way to see the city. The Nieuwmarkt area always has
lots of people and lots of good restaurants. Great Thai one there. Check
out the streetview:

There's a park outside of the Van Gogh Museum which is a wonderful place
for a picnic.
Hope this helps.
