The Zuerich-Amsterdam CNL night train stops in Basel so you wouldn't have to travel via Zuerich. Book Basel-Amsterdam ASAP (up to 92 days allowed) on the German Rail site to get the lowest discount fare. If you're willing to share a mixed gender 4-bunk couchette, you can get a fare as low as €59. Or you can get a sleeper bed in a same sex Economy Double cabin for a fare as low as €79.
