Dutch is the official language of Amsterdam. However almost every Amsterdammer speaks English fluent. There are plans from the local government to make the English language the second official language of Amsterdam.
You wil notice in Amsterdam that sum personnel's from Hotels or boutiques are English speakers. For the local people this isn't a problem because they can communicate in English.

Just to add on: Many of the tours and museums in Amsterdam are in English. The Heineken Brewery, for example, seems only to offer English tours. Other museums and sights too are in English.

The official language of the Netherlands is Dutch.
But as others already mentioned, you will get perfectly along, as (I could easily say) ALL locals speak English.

If you know German you might be able to get by. Most people there will speak English as well.
