I remember them as Europe's travel hub while most of us had locked down lol. My friend had gone to visit Japan and all the flights back to Germany were cancelled, but she could get a flight to Amsterdam and then a train down. Nobody checked her at all. So e.g. if you wanted to legally, easily cross from France to Germany your best bet was through Amsterdam.
How did the Netherlands do, anyway? Haven't heard much about them
Based on Google's stats they had 377 deaths per million people which is the 14th worst, but still better than the us or uk.
