Day train trip from Hertogenbosch, Netherlands
My wife and I will be in Hertogenbosch for fournights in early November. We are traveling with another couple who are friends of ours and have family in the area. Although we will be partaking in some of the family visits and events with our friends, we would like to break off for one full day and take a day trip by train to another town in the area. We have been to Amsterdam before, so this time around we have no need to revisit. We are thinking of a smaller town somewhere within an hour and a half or so by train.
Any and all suggestions appreciated!

We spent 3 nights in Den Bosch a few years ago to see the Hieronymous Bosch exhibit and absolutely loved the town. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the day trips suggested above. Have fun!

Ok to either Kinderdijk or Antwerp there are no direct connections, you need to change. But even then the travel time is shorter than the almost 3-hour train ride to Cologne.

With Kinderdijk it's not just you need to change, you need to change to altogether different mode of transport. And need to trek through Dordrecht, or take the not too frequent city buses to get to that Waterbus. Then, you most likely need to change to another ferry at Ridderkerk. Bonus: Dordrecht is great for a daytrip.
