To get from the main Naples train station (Napoli-Centrale) to the Molo Beverello port, you can either take a taxi or a public bus or tram.
To take public transit (Anm.it), you will be hopping on a tram (or maybe bus), but first you need a ticket:
Taxis line up right outside the train station and charge a fixed fare of €11 to the docks (Consorziotaxinapoli.it).
A private car costs more than a taxi—though the per-person price drops dramatically beyond two people (to €5–€10 per person).
However, in exchange it saves you the time and hassle of having to line up for the public taxis with everyone else. You just look for the guy with your name on his sign, get in your car, and go.

A note of warning: The Naples train station, Piazza Garibaldi out front, and all popular tourist transit lines (like Tram 1) are among the most pickpocket-infested places in all of Italy.
Keep you wits about you, your purse in front of you slung across both shoulders, and your hand firmly clenched on your wallet. » more

Planning your time: Budget at least a day for the Amalfi Coast. Simply to drive the coast without getting out (except to change buses in Amalfi) takes at least five hours—that's three hours touring the coast from Sorrento to Salerno, plus another hour on each end to get to and from those gateway towns.
If you do want to pack it all into a single day—and actually stop and get out in a few towns—it might be best to just book a tour that picks you up at your hotel, gives you time in each of the main Amalfi Coast towns, and returns you to your hotel 6–9 hours later:
Otherwise, it makes far more sense to spend at least one night on the coast.
If, however, your schedule doesn't have that much leisure time, might I suggest riding the first leg—from Sorrento to Positano to Amalfi—taking a quick spin around Amalfi town, then catching a ferry either back up the coast to Sorrento or over to Capri.
