As a NL resident, I want to go to Luxembourg.  The route transits Belgium. 

And there's the rub.   The public transport in Luxembourg is free… smart smart smart. 

Can I use a 1 country pass and have it count for the transit country, Belgium?   Or do I need a global pass?

Thanks!

The “one country” pass for Your region Is the BeNeLux pass, valid for all 3 however as a resident you cannot buy it.

This is not true. A NL resident can buy a BeNeLux pass, but the pass can then only be used in Belgium and Luxembourg, not in the Netherlands. As public transport incl 2nd class trains are free in Luxembourg, such a pass would be a waste of money for a NL resident.

If all you are doing is making a trip to Luxembourg and back then buying regular tickets from NS would be the best option.

The Benelux pass is not very cheap to begin with and if you can only use it in Belgium, then just forget it.
