If it were me, I'd go to Amsterdam.  The coffee shops aren't just for coffee.  If you have time, take a train to Maastricht - it's worth the side trip.  I also heartily recommend Haarlem and the less well known Zaandvoort.  When we lived in West Germany years ago, my wife and I went there many weekends.  Germany still had the awful shopping hours (virtually none on the weekend).  A Dutch friend of mine summed up the difference between Germany and the Netherlands:

In Germany, anything not specifically allowed is prohibited,
In the Netherlands, anything not specifically prohibited is allowed.

That pretty much sums up the Zeitgeist.

Not to slam Germany - you could do worse than Munich with side trips to Rotheburg ob der Taube (Medieval city with the ring wall and most buildings intact) and Neu Schwanstein (Ludwig's castle - you know, like at Disney World).
