Amsterdam and Belgium Train Question
 

Hey there. I know the website for train prices and stuff, but I can't seem to navigate properly. I'm trying to figure out which train pass (Benelux?) is the best deal; or if I should just purchase point to point tickets. This is the traveling we are doing by train:

Amsterdam to Bruges (transfers in Antwerp)
Bruges to Antwerp
Antwerp to Brussels
Brussels to Amsterdam
Antwerp to Willobroek (Breendonk Camp)

Small side trips possibly to:
Amsterdam to Haarlem
Bruges to Ghent

Any info or suggestion is HUGELY appreciated :)

From researching, I came up with this. Does this seem to match you pros who have travelled Benelux before?

http://www.b-rail.be/main/index.html Belgian trains

Amsterdam to Bruges = $75
Bruges to Antwerp = 12.40 EU ($15.37)
Antwerp to Brussels = 6 EU ($7.44)
Antwerp to Willebroek = 4.30 EU (5.33)
Brussels to Amsterdam = Thalys $43

Point to point tickets will be cheaper.

If you happen to be traveling on weekends and traveling roundtrip, the Belgain Rail fares are 50% off on w/e.

There is no point in using Thalys between Brussels and Amsterdam: the hourly intercity trains take only a few minutes longer. Fares using intercity trains seem to be 39.60 euros for Amsterdam-Brugge and 33.40 euros for Brussels-Amsterdam. There are no seat reservations on these trains.
