For the public transport you need an OV-Chipkaart
There is no specific OV-chipkaart for tourists or other visitors. They can use an anonymous or disposable OV-chipkaart:

• The anonymous OV-chipkaart is a plastic card on which an amount or a travel product can been loaded. 
• A disposable OV-chipkaart for one trip or for a predetermined short-term use. For example, a one-day train or bus ticket or a 3-day ticket for all public transport within the city of Amsterdam.

To get one of these cards, go to a counter of public transport companies, the vending machine at the station, tabacco and convenience store or supermarkets.
You can find all information (also in English) on the website www.ov-chipkaart.nl and in the attached brochure Travelling with the OV-chipkaart (pdf)
