Buy a ticket to train station Koog-Zaandijk.
At the airport, take the ‘stoptrein’ to Hoorn (mostly departing from platform 3). Change trains in Zaandam. Take the ‘sprinter’ (so no intercity!) with destination Uitgeest or Alkmaar. The second station after Zaandam is Koog-Zaandijk (duration Schiphol->Koog-Zaandijk: 35 minutes). From there, it’s a 15-20 minute walk to the Zaanse Schans.

(You can also change trains at Amsterdam Sloterdijk (you can use the same ticket))
