Getting to Amsterdam by train is easy as pie. A Eurostar from London St. Pancras will deliver you to Brussels Midi in just 2 hours. From there, there are 2 onward journey options for reaching Amsterdam, with an interchange between platforms possible in just 10-15mins. There are ample direct high-speed trains to and from Amsterdam's main station, Amsterdam Centraal. InterCity trains run more often and do not require forward booking, but if you book ahead the Thalys is better for speed and comfort.
