I know most of these aren't part of your travel plan, but here are some idea's you might like.
Bern, Switzerland - They have a very nice river that runs through the city and is very popular for floating or tubing down.
Italy - It really depends on what you are into, are you a foody? A bar star? A outdoor enthusiast? etc...?
If you are a foody, just about anywhere in Italy is great. If you like clubs then Florence is the city for you, it is full of colleges and universities, so there are plenty of students there partying almost every day. During the summer they have make-shift clubs set up on walking trails. Lots of great bars, and for the traveller in you there is plenty of amazing architecture and lots of art galleries, a few of which are outdoors and free.
Also, if you like the outdoors you should look into Cinque Terra. We camped there for a week in a town called Deiva Marina just beside the actual Cinque Terra park. It is 5 amazing villages that are connected by an ancient trail system. We walked the whole thing in about 12 hours, but that was stopping for beers in each town and plenty of pictures.
There is a place in southern italy, calabria region called Tropea. We had a two bedroom flat on a vineyard overlooking the whole town and a nice ocean view. It has cliff homes that are some of the oldest in Europe due to the country always choosing the winning side of wars. Plenty of history and lots of hot and available italian ladies who just love the tourists since it isn't a very touristy town.
If you are going to Nice, you should side trip it to Monaco. It is only about 30 minutes drive away from Nice and is unbelievable. If you are into seeing how the rich live, drive, and boat, then go there. The yachts are bigger than my last apartment building and the cheapest car I seen there was a Bentley.
Amsterdam, okay now this is where I consider myself an expert. So if there is anything else you want to know about this place, feel free to write me or reply.
Amsterdam you should start with a canal cruise. Find the one with unlimited booze and dinner. Pretty cheap boats, but great way to get a quick view of the city and meet people who you may end up hanging out with for the remainder of the night. Liedesplein is the sqaure for the pot smokers, rembrandtplein is the sqaure for night clubs (lots of hostels here as well), and damn square is the red light district.
Heineken brewery is worth it.
Argentian Grill is amazing after you get the munchies.
Febo is the the worlds fastest fast food, not the healthiest, but also a great munchy place. Try the Sautekroket.
If you try the mushrooms, the Van Gogh museum is a trip. I think he painted with that in mind.
That's all I got for now. If I can help any other way let me know.
