NB. if you try and make the journey from Amsterdam to Brussels, it is probably best to use the free trains which run every hour. Why? This is because nly the NS Internationaal ticket offices sell tickets for the Thalys. There are not many of them (only in the big cities), they often have long queues and they also charge €3.50 booking fee on top of the ticket price. It is not very user friendly, the idea is that they are trying to get people to use machines and the internet but, needless to say, the IR fares are not available on either of these!
