Would this be a great way to spend the day?
Also is there any particular area to find a good Indonesian rijsttafel restaurant or are they scattered throughout?
I would skip the coach tour as you don't get much time in either city. You can buy a train ticket to Delft for € 24.80 round trip. With that ticket you can get off in Den Haag on your outbound or inbound trip. It's only about an hour to Delft and 45 minutes to Den Haag from Amsterdam Centraal.
As far as a rijsttafel, Long Pura near Westerkerk is my go to. Tempo Doeloe on Utrechtsestraat, my favorite shopping street, is reservations only but is worth it if you're after something special.
