I am not sure if money is an issue, but I've always found that flying into Amsterdam gives you airfare prices of up to $200 less than surrounding airports per ticket. I flew out of Washington DC a few months ago to Amsterdam (Train to Hannover) for $192.

From the airport you can hop on a train and eventually get to wherever you would like to be, the ride is not bad at all, fun looking out the window if you have not done it.

PS. Pay the extra money and use the ICE trains.
