Use bahn.de, it'll show when seat reservations are required + show you schedules. They are optional in Austria, Germany, not needed in Switzerland and not possible in Belgium and the Netherlands (except Thalys which should be avoided).

On such a long journey though I'd recommend to book a seat on bahn.de : 4.50€ for the whole journey.

The international trains between the Netherlands/Belgium and Germany are always pretty busy

When there's no need to book, simply add the train to the app before boarding, enter a 1st class/2nd class carriage depending on your pass and find a free seat :) It works that way in most of Europe

I'd check on bahn.com what the expected occupancy is, and based on that maybe book a reservation until Basel.
