Going to Amsterdam for a few days, what's the best 'all-in' travel pass for train from airport and use of the trams and buses? There appear to be a confusing number of choices.

I used Tiqets last year to pre-purchase a return train ticket from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central, though they also to combination tickets if required.

Only minor issue I found, as they use QR codes for the rail tickets, that when scanning from your phone on the station barriers is that you need to disable NFC on your phone if you have a wallet set up, otherwise it tried to used your card before the QR code.

Ta. On reflection, probably shouldn't have posted just the day before travelling! Ended up buying a three day pass for 30 Euros that got us in from the airport and unlimited use on the trams.
