January in Amsterdam: typical highs around 6°C, lows around 1°C and about 12 rainy days.
Amsterdam is maritime and breezy: rarely very cold, rarely very hot, frequently damp. Wind off the North Sea makes it feel colder than the numbers, and rain can tag along all day, so waterproof outer layers earn their place.
The list below assumes a 7-day trip, flying in and sleeping in a hotel.
