To be more helpful, we could use an example of what "best" means to you. Best price, best experiences, best way to do it yourself, best tour groups....

My wife and I fly to Amsterdam next week for a couple of days before heading to Bruges for five days, then Arras, France for the weekend before finishing off in Leiden, Netherlands before going back to the airport. For me, Bruges and Ghent are too far for daytrips, however 6 days is short, do those six days include your flying days? If so, you have 4 full days, and then Bruges and our Ghent may have to be a rushed daytrip via train.

Does 6 days include the flight? In which case I would suggest staying in just Amsterdam, or Amsterdam + Haarlem. You will find travel time between cities will eat 1/2 a day. If you have more time then we can reconsider.
