I believe that there is only one center for Class 1 Medicals and that is at Soesterberg Air Force base.

The phone number for the RLD is 023-5663000.
You can only phone between 0900 and 1200 weekdays. They will be able to book the medical for you.

phone number for Soesterberg is 0346-33 43 00.

Watch out if you're doing your training outside of the Netherlands and especially outside JAA-land, they're very touchy about it. I had a Class 2 medical arranged and they cancelled it at 2 days notice when they found out I would be training in the US, and they weren't exactly polite about it either. Quote: "We stick to the rules here. If you will be flying in Holland and you want a medical in Holland then you also have to train in Holland".

If you can read Dutch check out the Piloten Forum for discussions on medicals in NL:

Is a class 1 medical (under JAR) issued by the aeromed centre in Soesterberg also valid for flying on a CAA (national) cpl/atpl? Or do I have to travel to Gatwick for it?

Nooo I don´t think you need to travel... I was told to get the medical from a " JAA approveded medical center " for my RLD CPL/ Inst validation.

The CAA will definitely accept a Soesterberg medical for the issue of a licence (just remember you have to send the original paperwork, not copies). A friend of mine has just successfully done this. In fact it's probably her fault that Soesterberg is now on the lookout for people training/flying outside JAA-land, she didn't mention it until the medical was done...
