I went to the consulate in Amsterdam and arrived 13:15 but had to wait for it to open. There was a pretty long line. At 13:30 we could enter and there were securty guards there moving a scanner. The guy said that if you had ANY electronic device with you, it would take 40-60 minutes extra. I'm glad I left mine in the car.
My bag got checked and went through a bigger detector (like at the airport) and then I had to go to a smaller room with 3 windows. First I gave them my photo's, stamps and birth certificate and support letters stuff, and got my fingerprints taken. Then I was told to take a seat and was called to another window.
It went REALLY fast. The guy had our pages of proof of relationship and just asked a few questions like how we met, how many times, if I like my parents in law, and who proposed and when. I was ready for a lot more but after like 3-4 minutes I was done and he told me that they would send the visa and passport (they take it) back to... read complete review

I have nothing to add on what Pluis said.
The interview was over before I knew it.

My experience with the consulate in Amsterdam was pleasant. I was treated respectfully and everyone was friendly. They also dealt with me in an efficient manner and were altogether organized.
The consulate suffers from age, though. The building is small, which leads to some issues of logistics. Forming an orderly queue is difficult and (at least on busy days) they only let in the applicants (not their spouses or fiancees, should they have come with), which was not previously communicated.
It is very important not to bring any electronic equipment. Not carrying a cell phone gets you jumped to the front of the line, so that you're first to go through security and enter the consulate proper.
You'll proceed to a small room in which you have the intake conversation. They take your fingerprints and check your passport data (I had just received a new one, so they had to change my passport number in their data), and take your stamps. Contrary to m... read complete review

Had my interview today and i have to say it was a very pleasant experience.
A lot is already said so i only tell a few things i've noticed.
Medical.
bring cash and i mean euro's no plastic. There are a few banks nearby so you can get money from there. i got 300 just to be on the safe site.
Interview
Don't bring electronics. It's in the letter etc. but there where people today that had phone's with them. The guard let them stay outside. If you bring your phone expect to be outside for a while. You can leave your phone at central station. There lockers on the far right side of the building. (if you stand in front of the building and walk in)
I bought a registered mail stamp (7.70 euro) in dutch (aangetekende brief 0-2 kilo)You only can get the barcode one.
All in all in was a pleasant experience. I was in and out in less then 15 minutes.
