Amsterdam to Berlin by train

Has anyone done this journey? Looks like it takes about 10 hrs, and there is a choice of trains, one being the German railway.

The direct train is perfectly adequate. The landscape is not really spectacular, so have a book with you.

There is only one train between Amsterdam and Berlin. This train is jointly operated by the Dutch Railways (NS) and the German Railways (DB, bahn.com).

There are multiple trains, roughly one direct train every 2 hours. They are all operated as a joint service by Netherlands and German Railways (NS and DB). It takes 6 hours 22 minutes for the direct trains.
You can look up times and buy tickets (print-at-home) on either company's website. DB is here: https://www.bahn.com/en/view/index.shtml

For example, for a random day in April it is listing:

Amsterdam Centraal depart 05:02, arrive Berlin Hbf 11:22, 39,90 EUR
Amsterdam Centraal depart 07:00, arrive Berlin Hbf 13:22, 39,90 EUR
Amsterdam Centraal depart 09:00, arrive Berlin Hbf 15:22, 44,90 EUR
Amsterdam Centraal depart 11:00, arrive Berlin Hbf 17:22, 44,90 EUR

And so on through the day.
