Hi H
Because you are young and that this is your first time travelling alone, I'm going to make a huge assumption that you are not an experienced traveller ( forgive me if I'm wrong.)
Really as a fist timer, you should make it easy on yourself and travel exactly within the stupid airline and homeland security prescribed rules.
My advice to you is thae same as to the younger members of my family.
Ultimately your biggest risks are from being robbed or getting stranded in NL due to airline problems.
Make sure that you take out travel insurance that will cover lost/stolen possessions.
Take two photo copies of your passport, carry one with you, separated from your main passport and cash. Leave the other with someone you can trust in UK. and remember to take their tel number with you.
Change your money into Euros before you get to NL and separate it in three. One small anmount in a wallet purse and the two larger amounts searated and stashed where they cannot be easily taken from you. In lieu of a GHB extra hard cash will cover most eventualities.
Make sure you know how to get home if airlines have a problem. How to get to hook of holland to catch a ferry back to Harwich? What about trains to Calais etc etc.
Travel light and enjoy the experience!!!
Have fun
