We (myself, wife, and 4 year old son) are planning to travelon Monday 25 June from Amsterdam to Lauterbrunnen, and return to Amsterdam onSaturday 30 June. Is the best / cheapest / quickest option to fly Amsterdam toGeneve and travel by train / bus from Geneve to Lauterbrunnen (and use the samemethod on returning)?

If you want to fly, Basel or Zurich airports will be closer. Check the fares with KLM, Swiss, or Easyjet. Another option is the direct overnight City Night Line train from Amsterdam to Basel. From Basel there are direct trains to Interlaken with connections to Lauterbrunnen. http://citynightline.ch

Thank you for the advice. Amsterdam to Zurich - flight in morning, and then I would presume railtravel Zurich to Lauterbrunnen in afternoon?

You're welcome. If you fly into Zurich in the morning, I recommend that you spend the day in scenic Luzern. Luzern is an hour away by train from the airport train station. From Luzern you can take the scenic Golden Pass train direct to Interlaken Ost station, and connect to the train to Lauterbrunnen.
