Using SNCB website to buy Amsterdam to Brussels ticket
Is it possible to use SNCB's website to buy a ticket for a Thalys train from Amsterdam to Brussels? [SNCB's site is in English while NS's Highspeed site is in Dutch].
I worked my way through the booking process up to step 3 (order) and it let me input and select a train from Amsterdam to Brussels even though I read somewhere on their website that the train had to originate in Belgium.
Also, if I use the "Home Printing" option, does the ticket have to be printed on A4 paper in order to be valid or can I use US standard letter-size paper and let Adobe Reader scale the pdf document to fit?
/Thanks

Thanks for the input.
I tried thalys.com and encountered an interesting result.
If I selected The Netherlands as the country issuing or collecting the tickets, I was rerouted to nl-internet.bene-system.com which is where I was routed when I started at NS Highspeed.
Likewise, if I selected Belgium, I was rerouted to be-internet.bene-system.com which is where I was routed when I started at SNCB.
So I guess the answer to my question is yes, you can start at the SNCB website and book an Amsterdam-Brussels train.
