It's best to fly between destinations since they're in separate countries. Trains and buses are available but might take longer, so plan accordingly. Renting a car is not required, and parking in some cities can be expensive, so it's not advised. Local metro systems and walking are easy ways to get around cities, and Taxis/Uber is available in case it's needed.
Total transportation cost is estimated at £180 ($240).
If you have more time, consider adding a day trip to Versailles or Bruges from Amsterdam, or to the medieval town of Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic. If you have less time, consider spending two days in Amsterdam instead of three, and flying from Amsterdam to Prague instead of driving or taking the train.
