As per July 9, 2014 the paper train ticket has been replaced by a chipcard. This is a paper ticket

with a chip. The most important aspect of this change is that from now on you need to check-in

and check-out when entering or leaving a train station.

 

• More information on the OV-Chipcard can be found here.
• Train tickets can be bought at the ticket vending machines at Schiphol Plaza.
• Train tickets can also be bought at the Train tickets & Services office where you pay a surcharge.
• International train tickets can also be bought online.

How to buy a single-use OV-chipkaart at the ticket vending machine

 

You probably don't have an OV-chipkaart (OV-chipcard) so here you can press either the blue field saying 'I want to go to Amsterdam CS' or - if you are going some place else -'I don't have an OV-chipkaart'. Unlike most other NS Self service ticket vending machines in The Netherlands, the vending machines at Schiphol do accept VISA or MasterCard!
