I've worked and lived overseas, so have some experience with this.
I've answered your questions as best I could.

I guess I feel a little nervous right now as I have never done this, and I want to make sure my company isn't short-changing me.
Should they be paying for my GF's flights? YES
How many times should I ask that they fly me home per year? I've often seen companies pay 1 annual trip home and 2 or more short term R&Rs in Europe.
Should my GF be included in this?YES
Should my wage be tied to living expense in Amsterdam? YES
Should they pay for the storage of my stuff while I am in NL? YES
What is right to ask for? what is wrong to ask for?

Health insurance would be the other big one.
Amsterdam is an incredible city - even without it's obvious attractions. I'm envious. It's been a dream of my wife and I to live/work there.
