We traveled from the Netherlands to Oslo by train last winter. Stopped over in Copenhagen for a few night to give the boys a rest, but it was still a long haul for them. I remember in the 90’s there were whole sections with playgrounds in them. I wonder if that’s still the case in Central Europe?
Still, I want to try another train trip with the kids, but I know I’ll face resistance, the prefer car drives.
The Czechs from RegioJet have a kids' space (RJ.cz), and I've been told about the Swiss SBB tho I didn't try this one. What route are you looking for your next trip?
Nothing planned yet, but I’d like to take them to Switzerland to see some mountains. I’ve recently seen that there are some nice sleepers from Amsterdam to Zurich, which is probably the best option. I think it might be more fun for them to get on a train at night and wake up in the morning in a new country.
The Amsterdam - Zürich sleeper train is operated by the Austrian Nightjet.

For the "whole" company, so to speak:
The second option has an app too, which I recommend.
You usually leave from Amsterdam at 20:15 and arrive in Zürich the next day at 08:05. You can also get the train only to Basel, and you'll arrive a little earlier, at 06:20.
That being said, there are quite a few options for day trains that you can split for 2 different days, with an average of roughly 3 and a half hours of train travel each day, which should be more comfortable for kids.
(Please stop zapping me all the time, now I feel like I have to give something in return. 😂)
I zap instead of liking, if you don’t like it, haha, gfy, jk.
Those are the options I was looking at, I dislike the apps though. I just want a ticket the old fashioned way.
I can take a joke, no worries. 🍻
For the Netherlands, they should be able to help you with paper tickets.
