My route went something like:-

Calais ---> Exit Calais CTR at Rep.Point 'E' (N50 56.6 E002 10.0).

Rep.Pt. 'E' ---> VOR 'COA' (118.05) (Keeps you clear of the Nuclear Power Stn at Graveline). Calais may clear you on to Ostende (120.60) or Brussels Info 126.90) Suggest go with Ostend and stay below 1100' unless cleared higher by Ostende.
Don't Squawk anything in the Amsterdam FIR unless told by Amsterdam Info (124.30) or Dutch Mil (132.35)

VOR 'COA' ---> Dordrecht town (or IFR Rep.Pt. ' 'LARAS') (Keeps you clear of Rotterdam Class 'C') Just after passing Midden Zeeland (EHMZ) keep below 1500'.

Dordrecht ---> VOR 'PAM' (117.80)

VOR 'PAM' ---> Texel via one of the Entry Corridors.

It's easier to do than explain. You could, of course, just whizz up the coast - but I haven't done that route so haven't looked at the clearance/radio stuff.
The Texel people are very nice - Lovely smooth grass runway (Have a look at their website www.texelairport.nl
Safe flying.
