Belgium senior pass

When I went to the website it looks like they need the beginning station and destination and also date to travel. We will be taking three day trips to 3 different towns so I was wondering do we need three separate tickets each with the destination and we are not sure if the dates we will be going. Thanks

No internal Belgian journey requires booking ahead or reservations.
Just buy on the day at the station, a separate ticket on each day.
The only trains requiring reservations and book ahead are the Thalys to Holland and France, and the Eurostar to London.

just remember that the fabulous senior ticket - easily obtained - is not valid in the morning rush hour M - F. It is a great deal - same price no matter how far you go, and back.

Is the senior pass available to anyone 65 or older even if not a citizen of Belgium?
Is there anything similar for trains in the Netherlands?

“ Is the senior pass available to anyone 65 or older even if not a citizen of Belgium?”
Senior pass is not the correct word. The correct term is senior ticket and it’s available to all those of 65 years and older . See the website of the Belgian national railway company for all details; https://www.belgiantrain.be/en/tickets-and-railcards/senior-ticket

Is there anything similar for trains in the Netherlands?”
No there isn’t.
