Start checking the train on NS hispeed booking. Looking at this one... I see Transfer. Do we need to get out of train for connection ?

That's the Intercity (i.e. slow) service. You don't need to prebook that one (although it'll save you a wait at the station). The high-speed Thalys services have no changes - you'll see the Thalys logo on the right by the entry on the nshispeed page.

This is indeed the high speed train (Thalys). Please be aware the high speed train is more strict than the slower train. For instance, you MUST travel on the selected train and time.

Other rules for your fare (Semi-Flexible):
Exchange conditions: Exchangeable once until the day before the departure.
Refund Conditions: 50% refund if cancelled before the departure (in your departure station until 1 hour after the departure). No refund if cancelled after the departure.

If you want you are able to use your Thalys ticket for the journey Brussels Midi/South to Brussels Central Station.

Thanks! I booked it... I was afraid I book the wrong train.

I also booked the high speed train from Bru to Paris.

Now I can start plan my day trip in AMS, BRU

Thanks
