If you have the time,train is a good bet,for the kids would love it.
Preferably daytime travel.France's famous TGV from Paris to Nice is an experience.

If you have the time, train for both.
If your schedule is tighy : train for Amsterdam Paris and plane for Paris Nice.

IF you fly, be aware of luggage weight restrictions.

You can check budget possibilities at www.skyscanner.net

Personally, I would consider doing both segments by high speed train.

Hi C,

Check www.voyages-sncf.com for train schedules and prices. The 3-yr old goes free.
