My personal opinion would be the opposite: Don't miss the Rijksmuseum, but skip the Van Gogh museum.
Even though the Rijk is under renovation, there's a lot to see and a great deal of variety while the Van Gogh is, as you would expect, very one-dimensional. See both if you can, but I was disappointed with the Van Gogh. De gustibus non est disputandum.
My personal opinion would be to skip the Rijksmuseum, but absolutely don't miss the Van Gogh museum.
