Help!! We are traveling to Amsterdam with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren, ages 14, 12 and 8. Our grandson will be in a soccer camp from 7/30-8/5, but we will have 5 days before and 5 days after to take side trips. Any and all recommendations would be welcome. I heard the train system is a great way to get around. What other countries are easily accessible and interesting to see if we are going to/coming from Amsterdam???

More of the Netherlands. The kids and the adults will probably enjoy Madurodam in The Hague. Belgium is probably closest but I think there's more for the kids to see and do in London and/or Paris. From London you can either train or fly (from London City airport) to A'dam. Train to Paris. Look for open-jaw tickets, into London and out of Paris.

I would go to Paris by train right after soccer camp and fly home from there.
