I am more familiar with the belgian neutrality situation than the dutch (due to the tactical importance of allowing french to deploy in the ardennes and other places) but in any event I suspect NL was a doubtful of british and french resolve and certain of german resolve as belgium was. Really a crappy set of choices for them. I would need to re-read over both the belgian and dutch neutrality declarations.
