Ground transportation

We will need to make several ground connections in Europe this fall. We will need a car from Paris to Lille,train or bus from Lille to Bruges,and train from Bruges to Amsterdam . What is a good web site to make these connections?

First, why do you need a car to get to Lille? Its a major hub on the TGV. You can get there in 50 minutes from CDG. You could never drive it that time. www.bahn.de to look at the schedule.

We are going from Paris to Normandy first. We will be in Normandy and surrounding area for a week.

You can look at the schedules at bahn.de but not book tickets unless you're travelling to or in Germany. The trains from Lille to Brugge are local services so there's no need to book online in advance (if you can at all, usually you can't book tickets for Belgian domestic services online). For the Bruges - Amsterdam leg you want to try www.thalys.com or www.nshighspeed.nl.
