Hi.

It depends on the trains you want to use, but you can do this route in 14-15 hours.

A relaxing way is to use the night train from Copenhagen to Amsterdam:

[b]Göteborg Central[/b] Dep: 1342 | free Regional train
[b]Koebenhavn H[/b] Arr: 1737

[b]Koebenhavn H[/b] Dep: 1842| CNL night train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/copenhagen-amsterdam-night-train/f3010[/u]

Option 1: stay in the night train until Amsterdam - this is the comfortable version.
[b]Amsterdam Centraal[/b] Arr: 1029

Option 2: leave the night train already at Duisburg and continue to Amsterdam by free ICE train
[b]Duisburg Hbf[/b] Arr: 0715

[b]Duisburg Hbf[/b] Dep: 0726 | free ICE train
[b]Amsterdam Centraal[/b] Arr: 0925

Option 2 is interesting if you want to make the reservation for the night train online. As the CNL night trains need either the departure and/or arrival station in Germany.
And with this option you have the arrival station of the night train in Germany (=Duisburg).

A good deal could be the 5 in 10 days InterRail Global Pass: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-global-pass[/u]
Then add an other city like Berlin, Copenhagen or Hamburg to your travel plans. :)
