Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities, so I'd say you have a good deal here. Of course alot will depend on your specific offer, whether you're on an expat plan or local payroll and your own preferences as far as where and how to live.

One big advantage - the Dutch government puts nearly all of its information online in English as well as in Dutch so you should be able to find out about taxes and working laws in (great!) detail with a few hours online. (Like all legalese, not a fun read - but very handy while you're learning the local language.)
Cheers,
