Where does the train arrive at the Amsterdam airport from Antwerp? We are planning to come in the evening before our flight. Want to stay over at a hotel near the airport...What hotel do you recommend? Thank you for your assistance. Barri

Here's a very recent thread about the hotel choices at Schipol.

The Schipol train station is right at the airport. You will connect through the Amsterdam Centrale station.

We just finished a few nights staying in the Schiphol area while transiting to England. We did the same last fall. This past trip we stayed at the Citizen M at the beginning. While the staff, general amenities and location are great, we weren’t thrilled with the room, which is a very specific layout unique to them. We found the space a bit too tight in terms of getting in and out of the bed (walls/window on 3 sides) and the toilet and shower set up were also very constrained. For our 3 nights coming back, we changed to the Hilton. The room was great and the staff excellent. It is a bit further to walk than the Sheraton on the covered walkway but still convenient. Schiphol is a fabulous airport to transit through and the train station right there is very convenient.
I believe you can get a direct train from Antwerp to Schiphol without going through Amsterdam CS. The train does stop in Rotterdam.
