Yes, it's an easy walk. I did that walk today from the hotel to the Centraal Station but I had only a little luggage. It took about 5 minutes.
If I were you, I'd print off the map from the hotel website which will have the station shown as well. I agree that most people can (and are keen to) speak English. However, around the station you are likely to find a lot of people are tourists and may not know.

You could ask your hotel ahead of time for walking directions from the train station.
While I know people say "everyone speaks English in Amsterdam" I simply did not find this to be true. Many people spoke Dutch, announcements were made in Dutch, etc.
I think knowing where you are headed would be far preferable to having to <ask for directions at the train station>.

Hi all--we are back and had a wonderful time in Amsterdam--however we did follow the suggestion of printing off the hotel map and it was wrong--believe it or not, it had the star for the hotel in the wrong place. Fortunately, we asked a vendor on the street who sent us back to the right place.
We loved the Renaissance--very nice room and lovely hotel--not sure why some others weren't happy there--the street was lovely and quiet and we walked all over the city from there--it was a steal through Priceline.
