The major differences is the amphibians need for water;
Amphibians must lay their eggs in water (and usually have a fish-like youth stage [tadpoles]) and often need to keep their skin wet in order to "breath" through it
(that is, their lungs are not sufficiently developed to supply all the oxygen needed for their needs.)
The similarities is in their basic anatomy.

Lizards are reptiles. While some reptiles may be just as happy (if not happier) in the water as out of it (crocodiles, alligators, turtles, snakes), amphibians are biologically adapted to aquatic living (salamanders, frogs, toads). Among the more striking differences between reptiles and amphibians is their skin; reptiles have tough scales where amphibians do not - amphibians tend to produce a mucous layer to keep their skin moist (slimy).
