Anyone taken a train from Brussels airport to Amsterdam Centraal before?
Is it easy to find and deal with?
I would love to use the websites, but I can not figure out what station is Brussels Airport..

you gona have to take a train from brussels airport to brussels midi its only a few minutes. Then from brussels midi take the train to amsterdam, wich takes just under 3 hours.
I am from brussels. I took this train a zillion time. It goes to Roosendaal and Rotterdam as well.

The Thayls also runs from Brussels Midi to Amsterdam CS. In around 2.5 hours, thayls is the high speed rail link in northern europe.
