If you're booking a round trip ticket then you can get cheaper fares if you book in advance on the Brussels-Amsterdam line. The cheapest ones are non-refundable and can't be changed.

The TGV does not run to Brussels from Amsterdam. You either have to take the Thalys or Fyra. The Fyra is 25 euro for single ticket if booked at least a week in advance. Sometimes you can get the Thalys ticket cheap too but it would need to be booked several weeks in advance. See http://www.thalys.com or http://www.nshispeed.com

While the Thalys is part of the TGV system, the Thalys runs Ams-Bru-Par not the TGV. Isn't it best not to confuse people and have them looking for the wrong train at CS?
