Could you explain more clearly what you are trying to do?
So far as I know, it is not necessary to use tabular output for
either pm3d or contour plots.  Similarly the "set multiplot"
command in your script seems unnecessary.

The simple answer would be:
  reset
  set contour
  splot '$INFILE' with pm3d

Season to taste with your preferred pm3d or contour settings.
If there is some particular combination of settings that 
causes a problem then maybe we can help with that.
