I have the Nikon D-80 with the 18-70 mm and a 70-300 mm.
None of it's top of the line for Nikon but for an amateur starting out you'd probably have fun as it's a pretty simple two-lense set to cover a broad range and not particularly expensive in a relative sense.
Eventually you'll discover what aspects of photography you find interesting and start building your kit to service that interest.
Pick up a copy of this month's Outdoor Photography magazine and there is a nice Nikon kit - put together by a professional - laid out visually for you with notes as to why he has each of the items.
