Amsterdam
Amsterdam [1] is the capital of the Netherlands.
There is a liftplaats, a spot specifically for hitchhiking, at the Gooiseweg next to the Prins Bernhardplein situated before NS Station Amsterdam Amstel (pass the bus stop). This road leads to the ramp of the S112 of the A10, the highway around Amsterdam (direction A1 and A2).
There are trains, trams (#12) and metro's to Amstel station from most other stations in Amsterdam
You can get hitches from here to the direction of Amersfoort, Utrecht, Arnhem, Nijmegen, Enschede Germany, and/or Belgium

Sleep
If you are caught in the rain with nowhere to go, the best place to stay dry that Zac found was outside the train station.
After walking all night in the pouring rain, trying to stay dry and warm wherever I could, I finally crashed outside the train station until the wee hours of the morning. At that time I moved inside of the station. This had mixed results. It was warmer and drier, but the security guards walked by and gave me a kick every time I dozed off.
