Never been to Europe other than Moscow. We definitely want to spend a few days in Paris.

12 days in Amsterdam then fly home.....oh....that's me....

3 days minimum Amsterdam. It's my favorite city so we always spend a week there but from there you could do Belgium or go to France. If the low cost airlines are still around then most all of Europe is doable. My advice is don't try to go to too many cities. You can wear yourself down moving every 2 days. I would pick 2 other cities besides Amsterdam and keep the travel to a minimum.

We did a trip about that long starting in Amsterdam 3 years ago. Pretty sure we did 3 nights in Amsterdam, 3 nights in Berlin, 3 nights in Prague, and 3 nights in Munich. Felt like we got to see a lot in each city. We took the train everywhere.

Two of my favorite cities are easily accessible from Amsterdam by Eurostar - London and Paris. I would spend a few days in Amsterdam, train to London for a few days, then take the train to Paris where I would spend as much time as possible. The eurostar is a fast, easy and pleasant train ride. I have never taken it in Amsterdam, but I have taken the London/Paris route.

Sounds like you want to do Amsterdam and Paris. 12 days is a long time to do both so you’re good.

If you don’t want to overdo it by doing a bunch of places and want to take it easy, maybe:

4 nights Amsterdam

2 nights in Bruges or Brussels

6 nights in Paris. You can take one or two of those Paris nights in a place like Reims.

If you want to skip Belgium you can take 2-3 nights in the French countryside.

I’m still a rental car traveller when I go to Europe because I hit interim places on the hotel relocation days. With a car, my potential itinerary will vary from others who use trains or take a jet in between cities.

Also, I’ve spent a decent amount of time in France & Germany, so that too changes my itinerary.

I’d probably spend the whole time in BeNeLux and, if so, I might not need the rental car.

Fly in & out of AMS. It’s one less thing to worry about.
