Hello you all, thanks for any help. 
 

Im struggling to find about the seats reservation from Brussels Midi to Amsterdam Central. My trip will be on November 7th. 
 

At Eurail portal I find the train and show that maybe I need a reservation, when I look at the b-europe I can’t find any trains.

Reservations are needed for Eurostar. However, these are quite expensive and availability is limited. You can also travel with the Eurocity Direct, which does not have reservations and runs every hour to Amsterdam Zuid. To Amsterdam Centraal, you change at Schiphol.

You can't make reservations on the IC-trains between Brussels and Amsterdam. Just add the train as a journey in the Railplanner app and activate the journey just before boarding the train.

So even with this information I can just ignore and select the travel and go ahead?
