Whilst I live in the UK, I do a lot of work in Holland and also have a flat in Den Haag. Good recommendations above for both Amsterdam and Den Haag.
I also recommend Delft. Its an older Dutch city with beautiful canals etc. It's only a 10 minute train ride from Den Haag.
For drinks and dinner in The Hague, head down to the Denneweg (also where I live) as it's home to good shopping, restaurants and pubs. I recommend 'Le Resident' and 'Oker' for dinner. If you fancy some hockey chat and I'm in town let me know and I'll come down and get you a delicious 11% beer.
I'd also recommend getting a Chipkaart once you get to Schipol Airport. It's like an Oyster card in London but works on every train and tram in the country. Load up a few Euro's and you can travel efficiently and cheaply around the whole country.
Have fun!
