On our first overseas trip together, a decade early, we had spent a few days in Amsterdam and shared memories of get lost amongst the canals and friendly locals helping us find our youth hostel.

Great job! I've added suggestions in blue and a correction in red that you can review.
The word "early" doesn't feel natural so I've replaced it with "ago."
"Had" can be kept before spent, but I suggest removing it in order to provide a nicer flow to your lovely passage.
Finally, "getting" should be before "lost" in lieu of "get." I feel this might break a grammatical rule and I can't explain it well to you. Unfortunately, this is one to memorize. I'll provide a few examples of "getting lost."
Examples:
"I've been getting lost at school since the first day."
"We shared fond memories of getting lost in Lisbon during our holiday."
"Getting lost is something to avoid when you're in a rush."
Again, great job!
Sincerely,
Sara
