My trip was also late coming into Amsterdam, but dear me did that bit after Brussels feel like a crawl until we hit the high speed line. I don't have a track map but would be interested to know what route it takes.

As I understand it it's the standard 'classic' mainline from Brussels to Antwerp, the Belgians didn't see any point in building an HSL between the two as they are so close together. It is apparently a 160 km/h railway (99mph) but has some areas of 120 km/h. It is also very busy. We crawled through Antwerp at walking pace.
