We will be taking the train from Amsterdam to Berlin end of June 2017...then later in the week will take the train from Berlin to Munich. We have 4 adults travelling. Any suggestions for train tickets? Should I purchase them online before we leave the United States, and if so, where should I purchase them. Or should I just wait until we arrive in Amsterdam and purchase the train tickets then?

If you can commit to specific trains (date and time), you best prices will be advance purchase tickets. Buy them as soon as you can, because prices only go up. Purchase the Berlin to Munich tickets from German Rail. Compare prices of the Amsterdam to Berlin tickets from both German Rail and Dutch Rail.

Purchase online in advance. The Amsterdam to Berlin is heavy usually stops in Koln and depending on when you travel some of the seats are standing up
buy at either national rail site:

Amsterdam to Berlin does not stop in Cologne, it goes straight to Berlin, via Osnabruck, Hanover, and Wolfsburg.

Yes, if you want a discount, buy nonrefundable tickets in advance.
