It's best to make a reservation the evening before.

Train: cheap and easy, but if you have budget for a taxi Melody rocks. As I said, I normally do train on the way in. How I leave depends on how early my flight leaves ;-)

I have never taken a taxi on the way in. I always buy a multiple day GVB pass at the TI in the airport as well as a one way train ticket. Buying the GVB pass at the airport prevents the miserable wait at the main office just outside Centraal Station. The pass is good for tram, bus, and nightbus.
"Laif" with a long "a".

The shuttle buses don't run in the RLD. The closest drop would be near Centraal Station or closer to the Dam. And there are elevators on every platform at CS so need to use the stairs.

About 40 euro. You could also take bus 197 or 370 too.
