Let me reply the one question that is within my 'territory' ;-)

The idea is that you don't need to bring anything, the lounge should provide anything you will need for your stay. Except perhaps your onward boarding pass and Elite+ card
Any Skyteam Elite+ card will allow you and a Guest to access the lounge free of charge, even when flying economy
Then after a few days in AMS [..]
Last question is, any must see sights that you have?
It greatly depends on what you like. Some people are into visiting museums, other prefer to see the countryside. Also this depends somewhat on the time of the year, as not everything can be visited in winter (Or summer).
One tip for Amsterdam, if you intent to visit a lot of museums: Buy the "Museum Card". It costs 50 euros and can be bought at most of the
participating museums. Once you have the card you can enter all participating museums (Which is _many_) free of charge. At 10-15 euro regular entrance fee this could very well be a nice cost saver
If you intent to visit the Anne Frank house: Be sure to reserve a ticket online beforehand, as lines can be veeery long otherwise. (Especially during summer months). You can reserve a ticket online even when you are using the Museum Card for entrance.
In return for help, I promise a wonderful trip report with all sorts of pictures.
Deal!
Have a great trip and congratulations on your wedding!
