London you should defintely check out all the tourist attractions first
London Eye
Big Ben
Houses of Parliment
Buckingham Palace
National Gallery
Tower of London (its amazing cost is about 12 pounds for a student id)
Kensington Garden and Palace. it is so much fun and beautiful to see the Gardens, plus it is so much fun to feed the squirrels there, they are so friendly and will jump on you and sit in your lap and eat out of your hand.
Victoria and Albert Museum is fantastic too.
don't forget to go to Picadilly Circus as well as Oxford Street and Bond Street for some great shops.
Notting Hill is also a great little place
Abbey Road is by St. John's if you are a Beatles fan.
also the Science museum was a blast.
Westminister Abbey too!
there is so much to do in London, I absolutely love it there!
Paris
Eiffel Tour of course, it is about maybe 6 euros to go to the top, but well worth it!
Moulin Rouge and a few metro stops down is the Sacre de Cour
of course you will want to see the Louvre and Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo inside!
Notre Dame is beautiful
Arc de Triumph is an amazing site and some cool places to shop around the way!
there are also some amazing churches and buildings and the Latin Quarters have some great shops!
Amsterdam
I don't know if you are into it, but there are some pretty excellent Coffee shops all over the place, but don't go to the Bulldog, its just an American tourist trap.
I went on a canal tour and it was a great tour of the city.and you pass the Anne Frank house as well, so that is great!
Van Gogh Museum is amazing as well.
the Sex Museum was funny as hell but had some freaky things in it, but well worth the 3 euros to get in.
I also went to the Madame Tussand's Wax Museum for a price of about 20 euros, its not that great but I did have a good time in there.
Hope you have a blast on your trip! I love it so much overseas!

As an addition to the person who answered regarding pick pockets in Paris. Be aware that MOST of the pick pockets are young children, 11 or 12 years old and maybe even younger. Police can't do much about it because of their age. They always approach you in groups of three or four and distract you will another cleans you out. Fortunately, the Parisians are very aware of these kids and will usually chase them away if they see them at work. Don't hesitate to push them away (gently) and say no or whatever else comes to mind. I used to live in Paris (loved it) and almost got taken by these kids even though I knew what they were up to from the very beginning when they approached me. They aren't dangerous, just agressive. Nonetheless, I have traveled to many many countries and cities and Paris is by far my favorite.
