I'd suggest you not plan out your certifications so far ahead. There will probably be a whole new slew of vendors and certifications by the time 2038 rolls around. Looks like you have a decent start lined up though.

If you plan to write the software that clients, servers, routers, or switches use--I don't believe networking certifications will help you all that much. If you want to design, configure, and troubleshoot routers/switches and use your programming skills from time-to-time, the CCNA is a good place to begin. We just hired someone with almost exactly your credentials and a CCNA. We turned down someone with almost exactly your credentials and a CCNP (entry-level experience + intermediate-level certification don't mix). Don't underestimate the value of gaining experience while still in college, for example from internships.

I'll let others answer what helps in a Microsoft or Linux system admin environment.

I agree, thinking so far out is silly. Focusing on your first job is far enough for now. Once you get it, you'll be in a better position to judge the best next steps.
