Thank You, The person I'm going with wants to now go to Berlin for a couple of days? How far a train trip is it to Berlin?

I think it's about 7-8 hours.
I would recommend an overnite train.

Yes it is long. That is why I'd recommend a couchette. That's a second class bunk. You'll combine your accomdation with your travelling time. Kill two birds. Maybe, if your travelling alone; first class is better. Either way you might want to book these in advance as they can be overbooked. Your Eurail pass will not cover it.

Geoff, How long do you think it would take to go to Paris?

Paris is 4 hours from Amsterdam on Thalys.

Found this on a website

Yes Paris is quite a bit shorter, because of the Thalys (much faster). You can get a timetable from the DB website, which I posted in the transportation section. Most likely I'll be doing that route on my next trip. With a stopover in Belgium, off course.
