The Pancake house (same block as the Anne Frank House) is a great breakfast spot - if a little bit americanized. If I were there, I'd make a b-line for the place....
The countryside is fantastic, as is the Rijksmuseum (sp) and Van Gough museum.
Whatever you do, don't eat the space cakes (esp. if you don't normally smoke pot,) their active ingredient is similar to hash, but since you ingetst it, it takes a lot longer to take hold - then WHAM, you're fucked.
Rent a bike, and cruise the city...know in advance that the sex shows are cheezy, and the Red Light district gives some people the heebie-jeebies (I was astounded,) and go early night time (9-10pm).
Heinekin brewery is cool - 1/2 hour of unlimited beer (get a drinking game going, and if you're nice, they'll let you stay longer.
Take a boat taxi - try the bars, or jazz clubs (saw some great bands). While at the bar, ask for Heiniken Tarwebok (I loved it). They usually only have one beer on tap (Heine or Amstell) but a ton in bottles.
Try wandering around, you're bound to end up somewhere interesting. Amsterdam, even without the coffee shops, is a fantastic city!
Have fun!
