Try the XAPI for those kinds of queries. This gives me the amenity nodes for Amsterdam and surroundings: curl -g ' http://xapi.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/node[amenity=*][bbox=4.9,52.2,5.1,52.4] '
Read up on the XAPI here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Xapi The XAPI can be pretty slow at times. Alternatively you can download OSM data in JOSM and query it there. JOSM's query is pretty powerful.
