Eurostar have announced a new twice daily service form London to Brussels, Antwerp, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Unfortunately won't start for 2 years as they have to build the trains first!

For those based in Kent there's also a new service this year by KLM from Manston to Schipol.Two flights a day and a reasonable £89 return if you book about 10 days ahead.

In the mean time, you can always take Eurostar to Brussels, and change there to the high speed Thalys - Brussels->Amsterdam

Not sure the high speed trains are running yet. SNCB and NS are in a court case with the Italian manufacturers of the high speed sets which don't work and they have refused to accept them! I think the times on the Thalys site are with conventional trains from Brussels to Amsterdam.

Thalys trains are high speed trains (TGV).
Currently already in service on the Paris-Bussels line.
The Italian HS trains that were reject by the SNCB & NS were called Fyra.
The SNCB already got their money back - the NS is trying to get it back (without success so far).
Serves them right, since they pushed for the Fyra whereas extending the Thalys route from Paris-Brussels to Amsterdam was always the SNCB's preferred option.
