At last - an easy NOTAM site
Try this link for a free graphical Google map based NOTAM site. This best I have seen yet and it is free. Works on my iPhone.

The KML version above is deprecated, but remains to support legacy browsers - if Google Maps can run on your browser, then so will the KML rendering.
For modern browsers with good Javascript performance, try:
UK 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions
French (LFXX) 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions
German (EDXX) 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions
Italian (LIXX) 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions
Greek (LGGG) 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions
Turkish (LTXX) 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions
Irish (EISN) 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions
Irish (EISN) 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions
Bulgarian (LBSR) 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions
Bulgarian (LBSR) 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions
Japanese (RJJJ) 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions
(Non-EGXX FIRs added as various folk asked for them)
If you want to use the NATS briefing portal, and have maps plotted from briefings generated there, you could try this Google Chrome extension:
UK NOTAM Map Google Chrome Extension
There is also a webapp providing a different presentation aimed at the iPhone and Android handsets here:
UK 48-Hour NOTAMs for iPhone and Android «
If you have an Amazon Kindle, then there is a version of the iPhone webapp (with preferences support trimmed out since the Kindle browser doesn't have the persistence API, but with some additional keyboard accelerators) - point your Kindle browser at the same URL described in the pages above (or use "www.kintam.com" - easier to type on the Kindle keyboard...)

If you tell me the FIRs, I'll add the maps. Note that these are for Warnings and Restrictions though.
In the general case, you can use the Chrome Extension app for the NATS site, and generate your own maps if you prefer.
Install the extension, generate a NOTAM brief from the AIS site in the usual way, then click the extension action icon in the address bar (or click on a NOTAM id in the text brief) - and the map is generated from your briefing.
Depending on how cluttered the map gets (because everything is plotted, not just Warnings and Restrictions) you may want to de-select everything using the checkbox at the root of the tree-view, and then selectively add categories.

Because no-one asked for them....
In the mean time a less sophisticated plotter that does include the Low Countries can be found here:

How should that work then?
I get a list of NOTAMs, and I get a Google map pane with the NOTAMS displayed and which can be panned around, and clicking on things brings the expected pop-ups ... but the usual Google map zoom controls are missing, so I can't zoom in on the area of interest?
Plus I'm never too keen on sites that throw up JavaScript errors ...

Me neither - which is why I strive not to build them - however, I have recently updated the IE support for those maps to the later versions of IE.
What browser are you using? - if you're on an older version of IE, I'd suggest sticking to the link posted by the OP - if Google Maps runs on it, so will the KML rendering.
If you're using a reasonably up-to-date browser, please let me know which one, version and platform, and I'll sort it out.

Nats
If you find the nats website clunky, and difficult to navigate, then you are a buffoon and a danger to yourself and everyone else in the air. You must go fir immediate extra training.
Or so goes the "perceived" wisdom on prune. Glad to see people generating useful, usable, alternatives.

The maps are served from a Google App Engine process which parses AIS Area Briefings, and transforms them into a variety of formats.
The set of briefings, and the intervals they are obtained at, is a fairly simple configuration job. The older KML
presentation is one format, the newer maps drive from a JSON description of each briefing, filtered down
to R*, W* and a subset of AC* NOTAMs.

Have just re-tested against IE8 8.0.6001.19048 under Windows Server 2008, with no errors? - what JavaScript errors were you seeing?
