Amsterdam to Bruxelles / Brussels by train

There are two train services which travel between Amsterdam and Bruxelles/ Brussels
(1) The high speed Eurostar (formerly Thalys) trains are faster and if you can book ahead, they're often not more expensive.
(2) The slower IC trains will be cheaper when the most heavily discounted tickets for those Eurostar (formerly Thalys) trains have sold out, so they will also be cheaper when booking last minute at the station.
Rail pass users can make big savings by taking the IC trains.

And unlike the Eurostar (formerly Thalys) trains they also call at Bruxelles Nord and Bruxelles Central railway station
