As stimpy said, London to Brussels: Eurostar. London to Amsterdam: better to fly but could to Eurostar to Brussels then another train to Amsterdam. To Prague: fly from BRU, AMS or CRL (Ryanair...).
If flying, look into re-ordering the sequence, there is no relation between distance and price.

For Amsterdam, one other option to consider is Train + Overnight Ferry + Train. You leave London something like 7pm, and get into Amsterdam for about 10am, having had a decent night's sleep and not having had to pay for a hotel. Given hotel prices in both London and Amsterdam, that can work out a decent saving!

For the AMS--> Prague part I would prefer a short Easyjet or CSA flight over the night train between both cities (which is in many cases more expensive than the Easyjet flight).
