Can I do Margraten and Maastricht in one day trip by car from Amsterdam?
Yes: Maastricht is only about 11 km from the cemetery, some 15 minutes, so a 13-hour day from Amsterdam fits both, the cemetery first because it closes at 17:00 and then an afternoon and dinner in Maastricht. It costs €845 in Business Class or €1,040 in Van Class, and the 520 km included cover the round trip of about 445 km.

Related questions
Would it be better to stay the night in Maastricht?
If you want a slower pace, yes. Then book two one-way rides instead: Amsterdam to Maastricht via the cemetery, about 232 km and about €793 in Business Class, and Maastricht back to Amsterdam another day, about €728; the stop at the cemetery is added at €65 an hour.
What if we want longer in Maastricht?
The booking runs on at the same hourly rate, €65 in Business Class, and each extra hour adds 40 km to what is included. Let the chauffeur know over dinner rather than at the end of it.
Can we visit Maastricht first instead?
You can, as long as you reach the cemetery before 16:45. With the drive down taking about three hours, that leaves a short morning in Maastricht; the other way round is more relaxed.
