So, with all this discussion, I'm still not clear what to expect. 
When I walk up to a train ticket kiosk in Schiphol, should I expect to
be able to use my US-issued, non-chip credit card (AMEX, VISA - I
don't care as long as *one* of them works), or should I have a fistful
of Euros handy?


We need ground truth here - last time I was in Paris, I needed cash to
get a metro ticket - none of my cards worked. At 10:00 AM on a Sunday,
it was pretty inconvenient to find an open Bureau de Change.

Somehow, most of us managed to make it to make it to stochholm, dublin
prague and paris, without becoming wildly lost or destitute along the
way, and that's not even mentioning the locations that I find generally
inhospitable like anaheim, minneapolis, chicago, san diego and dallas
that we all somehow coped with.

you'd  think for all at winging about payment system failure on this
list that we're going to rwanda not holland.

fwiw Nederlandse Spoorwegen says they accept credit cards and I've done
that alibiet not in the last year at a kiosk in the airport. They also
have a ticket counter...
