Hi Personally I would buy an IAMsterdam card. We stayed in Amsterdam for 4 days and it gave us entry into most museums and also a 90 minute canal cruise, free travel on the buses and trams and a good city map. You can buy them at the airport. 48 hours is 65 Euros, 72 hours is 75 Euros, and 96 hours is 85 Euros. It doesn't give entry to the Ann Frank house but all of the others museums including the Oude Kerk. Check online to see exactly what it covers.
