For the most part, they use the standard 2 prong european plug(type C). There are two other kinds listed on the page below. Go to it and scroll down to Denmark.

Almost every laptop I have found is dual-voltage. Check the brick to make sure the input is 110v-240v, or close to that ie. 115v-220v. You can get a US to euro(type C) plug or get a universal one.

Main thing to remember, it allows your device to plug into their outlets, but check voltage. I plugged my Wii power brick into a 220 outlet with just an adapter and it fried it.

Let me know if you need anything else.
 
It looks a little funny in the pic, but yeah I think that is it. I saw this on there also, if your power supply only has 2 pins, you can get one of these.

If it is 3 pin though, you need the full round plug.

I buy them over here for less than $1 each. I know they aren't that cheap in the states, but don't pay $8 for it. You can find them for less than $5.
 
my phone manual says: AC adapter Voltage range/frequency: 100 - 240V AC, 47/63 Hz
DC output: 5V and 1A so i should be good.

I went to Denmark back in 2008 for about 6 months. All my chargers worked fine (laptop, cell phone, etc) because they were all rated 110-240v. All i did was to get the plug adapter so it would plug into the two circular plug in the wall. I usually took the adapter with me so when i took my laptop around i could plug it in anywhere.

Also, if you have any questions about Denmark or anything, shoot me a PM. I studied abroad there at the University of Copenhagen and lived in an apartment in Amagerbro near the beach. I could see the windmills off the shore from my apartment.
