Stuttgart is a long drive from Amsterdam. Don't believe the maps. Traffic around Stuttgart is horrible. If staying in Amsterdam, go see Anne Frank's house, the Heineken brewery, walk the red light district at night, etc. Very awesome town. If you must go to the Fatherland, Aachen is the first town across the border. Charlemagne's tomb is in the cathedral there. Cologne is less than an hour from there.
