Given the number of European departures those days, they should really start considering reopening the lounge 25...
I've done that before with Privium card, automated readers, but also with the Marechaussee. At the time, if I was even asked for reason of going to the NS part, I'd either said I want to meed a transiting friend or that I want to go to a shop that is not available in Schengen part. At this point, I expect that if you say you wish to go to the lounge that should not pose a problem.
