She doesn't need a visa, but could do with some language assistance with immigration formalities. Thanks.
Curious, what language(s) does she speak? If it's just English, she'll have no problems navigating Dutch immigration and customs.
As far as availability, the embassies can certainly help. Some airports hand the cards out at boarding, others do it on the airplane.

There certainly are. Every non-EU passport holder is required to fill out an arrival card at their first point of entry into the Schengen area. Granted, they're pretty straightforward, but they are there.
