3. From Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Lima (Peru) by flight?

The Air Europa route (AMS-Madrid-LIM) had a reasonable stopover in Madrid and was somewhat cheaper than the direct KLM flight. However, if you book sufficiently early, the difference may not be that much between the KLM and Air Europa flight.A reason to go for the more expensive KLM flight may be that the Air Europa flights seem to have a higher risk of being cancelled. My return trip in March 2012 was combined with two other Air Europa return flights (12h earlier and 24h earlier), impacting my holiday planning somewhat. If you have a scheduled trip in Peru, this might be impractical. With KLM you may have a smaller risk of this occurring. Given the price difference (when booking sufficiently early), I may personally opt for the direct flight next time

5. What is the best way to travel to Amsterdam London and Paris?

If your starting off in London, the chunnel would be a good way to get to Paris. Although, I would also check discount airline, such as ryanair and easy jet, because sometime (especially if you book in advance) you can get flights cheaper than train tickets. And from my experience, security etc. does not usually take that much time, especially when traveling via discount airlines. Same advice goes for Amsterdam. If you go Paris-Amsterdam, you can get there by train, but check airfare just in case. If you go back to London in between each mini-trip you could also look into a rail pass (raileurope.com); otherwise, visiting Paris and Amsterdam at the same time might be your best and cheapest option. No specific hotel advice. Just shop around for the best deals. I've been to all three places, and am jealous you will be there during the holidays!

Springtime was nice, a bit chilly but not too cold in Amsterdam. I do not live there but really enjoyed visiting last month. Italy was really nice in March as well. I went a couple of years ago. Fall seems like it would be a fun time to go as well. I would not go in summer as it seems like that's when it's most touristy. Much of Italy gets really hot and humid during the summer
