I fly into Amsterdam and out of Brussels — how do I move with my luggage?
Either by train, since Eurostar and the Intercity Brussels link Amsterdam and Schiphol with Brussels and the Intercity also stops at Brussels Airport, or by car from your hotel door to the departures hall: about 201 km and 2 h 34, roughly €687 per car in Business Class. Traveling light, the train costs less; with several suitcases, children or a group sharing one car, the car is the simpler move.

Related questions
Can we make a day of it on the way?
Yes. Antwerp, Bruges or the American Cemetery at Margraten can be a stop with the luggage in the car; see Margraten on the way to Brussels for how such a day is priced.
When should we leave for a flight from Brussels Airport?
Work back from the flight: the airline’s check-in advice, about two and a half hours of driving and a margin. See an early flight from Brussels Airport for a table.
Can you collect us at Schiphol on arrival too?
Yes; the arrival is a normal Schiphol pickup with meet and greet in the arrivals hall, and the Brussels leg is a separate booking at its own price.
