Amsterdam Region and travel ticket/Amsterdam travel ticket and Zaanse Shans

I am a bit confused...

Which are the differences from the Amsterdam travel ticket and the Amsterdam Region and travel ticket?
Both of them include Amsterdam-Schiphol? and Amsterdam-Zaanse Shans (by bus, by train or both)?

Does the GVB day ticket include Amsterdam-Zaanse Shans (by bus, by train or both)?

Thank you for helping me

Looks like the GVB ticket only cover Amsterdam City, 1-day=7.50 EUR, 2-day=12.50 EUR, 3-day=17 EUR

Amsterdam Travel Ticket covers that plus the Airport, 1-day=16 EUR, 2-day=21 EUR, 3-day=26 EUR

Amsterdam + Region Travel Ticket covers that plus Zaanse Schans among others. 1-day=18.50 EUR, 2-day=26 EUR, 3-day=33 EUR.

Note: http://9292.nl/en shows trains to ZaanseSchans then a 1-mile walk to the Openluchtmuseum, or train to Zaandam then 2 buses to the Openluchtmuseum. Both about the same travel time, the train/2 bus route a few minutes quicker (and a lot less walking)

If that's your only trip for the day, buy separate train tickets. They're € 6,20 return trip.
And it's indeed 9292.nl.

You's right. Funny, but when I enter 2929.nl on google, it directs me to 9292.nl, so I never noticed. I'll edit.

The walk between train station Zaanse Schans (formerly named Koog-Zandijk) and the open air museum is a pleasant one on a fair weather day.
