Hi.
Yes - you can travel both routes for free without extra reservation fees (which are expensive on these routes using the THALYS trains!). Better to invest the money in some beers during the longer trips. :)
As Interrailer have a look at the right column.
First row is recommended or not (in the sense of time, extra fees, scenic, ...). The second row shows how much is the extra fee to pay for this connection - green means FREE. :)
You can also click the connections to find more details.
We will update the schedules-system until June (in the final steps of development right now). To late for you then ... so just ask if you have more questions. :)
The official Interrail pass: [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux]

Thank you for supporting railcc, Pete :)

No reservation required on all green routes. I would recommend the following for Amsterdam - Bruxelles:

:arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/-to-[/u]

At each station where you change trains you can see the train category (eg IC from Amsterdam to Den Haag and IC B from Den Haag to Bruxelles.
Below you can see InterRail: no additional charges which means no reservation or supplement required: just hop on the train.
If you click on the train category symbol (IC) you can see further details:

However, especially on this route (Bruxelles - Paris) there are lots of alterations during the year so I would recommend to check timings again before your travel with a schedule planner: :arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]

Have you planned to visit other places in Belgium as well?

Antwerpen, Brugge, Gent...all within 30 minutes from each other, perfect for either a day trip from Bruxelles or short stopovers on your way from Amsterdam to Bruxelles (Antwerpen) or Bruxelles to Paris (Gent/Brugge). :)
