We did one of the canal cruises today (overpriced IMO, but not a bad way to pass an hour otherwise, and I like being in the outdoors to try to fight off jetlag on arrival day). Then the hotel helped me stay up by not having my room ready decided that since I was up anyway, I would join a work Zoom I had told people I might try to make depending on circumstances but no guarantees. Then we wandered around some of the shop alleys for a while before having dinner.

Only thing planned for tomorrow is the Anne Frank House, although we might try to hit up another museum or two. We've previously been to the Van Gogh museum on an all-day AMS layover; my only other trip to AMS was an avgeek-focused event so not much time spent in actual downtown, although I can definitely recommend the Royal FloraHolland Visitor Center/Aalsmeer Flower Auction. (We also went to the Lelystad Aviodrome which I would recommend except it's a ways out of town)

BTW, Wisconsin and Iowa are notorious for strictly enforcing speed limits, including cameras on the interstate in Iowa.
