Thanks for the reminder ​@rvdborgt ! We saw that NS has updated the information on their page, so we just edited according to their update

Tuesday's strike has been expanded and will impact the entire country again: All NS domestic trains will likely not run. The impact on international trains and the shuttle service between Amsterdam and Schiphol airport will be announced tomorrow.

Other train companies than NS in the Netherlands, like Arriva, are not on strike.
That means from Germany or Belgium you can still reach places in the south like Maastricht and Nijmegen, Arnhem in de east, Enschede and Zwolle further north, and Leeuwarden and Groningen (with replacement bus) in the very north.
The different networks are not connected however. If you really need to travel from Maastricht to Groningen for instance, you need to make a big detour via Germany.
