Hi,

DEMs created from Contour line will have a rice paddy look with steps and flat 
areas.  If this what you are seeing?  You could smoothing filtres on the DEM or 
possible adding data point to the contour lines. Smoothing can make it nicer 
but not necessarily more accurate.  You could  perhaps make a densification of 
the contour lines,  extract the vertexes and model that in cloudcompare or Mesh 
Lab as a mesh could help.  Would help to know what is not satisfying about your 
DEM.
