This website should give you some information on Haarlem and what to see.
The Corrie Ten Boom Museum is a really interesting place to visit as it is a similar albeit less touristy version of the Anne Frank Huis in Amsterdam. It is worth the visit if you are interested in that.
If you have any questions you can always PM me.

I've only been to Amsterdam once but my recollection was that taking the train from the airport to Amsterdam Central Station was fast and relatively inxpensive -- taking a taxi back took a long time and was very expensive.

You don't need to have advance tickets, though. You can line up (there is invariably a queue for walk-up tickets) but bear in mind you could be in line for up to an hour before you get inside.
If you don't fancy waiting, there are lots of other things to do. Just stroll around the city, visit any of the other museums (the Royal Palace on Dam Square is not far from either Amsterdam Centraal, or from the Anne Frank Huis) and would easily take up an hour or so of your time.
