Jip Meijer was fantastic. He gave us detailed explanations complete with pictures and maps. This is the second visit to a WWII sight in less than a year with my teenage kids and both times we did a tour like the one Jip did and they were engaged from the start. My recommendation would be to stay the night down there and really take in all the culture, sites and restaurants but a day trip from Amsterdam or Brussels is very doable if that’s all the time you have.
