Just out of curiosity, why would you want that? You're moving here, being paid in local currency and we don't accept dollars anywhere except for the Starbucks at Schiphol. That, plus the Euro is, at least currently, much stronger than the dollar which to me makes it a bit strange to convert anything at all.
If you'll be employed here, you should be able to get a Dutch bank account and skip any fees whatsoever.
