You asked - you got it!
I marked the words which need be stressed. Unmarked phrases mean that you must say it just with smile and kind. The last two phrases have different stressed points, but it depens of what is important to say.

I hope it helped - make them feel delightfully hearing your perfect polite Russian!

What about "Как я могу вам помочь?"

Well, this question actually means "What can I do for you", at least, in Russian. To ask "Как я могу вам помочь" isn't incorrect, but it kinda means "how can I do anything for you?"

That's right and correct.
But I see some difference between two pfrases : КАК я могу вам помочь? and ЧЕМ я могу вам помочь?
I must say that that's my own opinion and one can have his own point, but I really see the difference. Look :

I ask ЧЕМ я могу вам помочь? when I really do not know whatever people may wish - they might to ASK me where to find anything, or in situation (when I am Mr Bean and you came in the Reception in Hotel) like above than ЧЕМ я могу вам помочь? is the duty phrase and means that I am ABLE to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you could wish or ask me.

Now КАК я могу вам помочь?

I see what in particular is happening at the moment - I understand the problem and ask HOW or with what kind of HELP can I help you. Some woman came from shopping from butics, she came on taxi, the driver helped her to take out all her bags and she simple do not know how to pick up TWENTY bags and ribboned boxes with two hands. Then I come to her and ask dirrectly КАК я могу вам помочь?
You see I know that I must take some her bags and help her bring them to her room. But PERHAPS she want to bring some valuable bags herself and tell me what in particular BAGS should I take to help her.
If i would asked her ЧЕМ я могу вам помочь? tHan she'd answered Help me with bags!! Doesn't he see all my bags??!!
If I ask КАК я могу вам помочь? she answer take please those ten bags and bring it to me room please!

GOD I made a bunch of mistakes here writing all that and ask excuse my English, I also hope it has sense.
Anyway BOTH phrases are FAIR in same situation but I still feel the difference.
:P

Here are some quick corrections:
