Practical tips
Before booking, check the table on the page: if the bus is almost as practical as other options for your date, there's no need to pay more. If saving time really matters, compare the other modes too.
Buses don't always leave from right outside the main station. Open your e-ticket the day before, note the address or stop listed, then find it on a map so you don't end up at the wrong platform or street.
Amsterdam can have several arrival points depending on the departure. Note the one on your ticket and the local connection to your accommodation before leaving, so you're not searching for your way as you step off the bus.
The lowest fares go first, especially on weekends and during holidays. Book as soon as your dates are set, and choose a departure that leaves you some margin if you have another connection afterwards.
Even within the Schengen area, random checks can happen at the border. Keep your ID card or passport in your hand luggage, not in the hold, along with your ticket on a charged phone.
