Plan your departure from Amsterdam Central Station through Netherlands Railways. There are multiple departures every 2 hours from Amsterdam to Munich Hauptbahnhof. With more than 20 departures every day, you're sure to book the right one.
Think about whether you want first or second class. The trip from Amsterdam to Munich lasts about 7 to 9 hours, depending on the route and connections. You may want to look at your overall travel time to decide whether the increased seat size is worth paying nearly twice as much for your ticket.

Decide what day you want to go. In the Netherlands, you can choose to book tickets for travel on a specific date, or you can opt to leave the tickets blank.
