I bought a combo ticket from Keukenhof.nl website for a visit to Keukenhof in late April, which includes a KeukenhofBuzz bus ride (859) from Hoofddorp to Keukenhof. Is the KeukenhofBuzz bus stop for 859 located underneath the Hoofddorp train station?

It's right there in front of your nose on the Keukenhof website.
Go to "Plan Your Journey", scroll down a bit, and there is a section for
KeukenhofBuzz Departure Locations, with a map.
Address KeukenhofBuzz location Hoofddorp (bus line 859):
Mercuriusplein
2132 HA Hoofddorp

@shoeflyer: thanks for your response!
Yes that's the address provided on the website. The problem is when I looked at the street view at that location in Google Maps, there's no bus stop or sign post indicating it's for the KeukenhofBuzz bus 859. The only bus stops in the proximity that I can find are those under the train station platform; which is why I post this question.

The KeukenhofBuzz is a special seasonal bus that only operates during the 2 months that the Keukenhof is open to the public. It’s therefore not strange or worrisome that Google Maps doesn’t yet show the bus stop. When the bus is in operation there will be clear signage at Hoofddorp train station to indicate where the bus stop is.

OP, I understand your point, but, on top of what the others have said, a) Mercuriusplein
is a small circle, so if the bus pulls in and you are there, you will undoubtedly make it
and b) the bus runs every 15 minutes, so in the worst case you can scout out the first
departure and if you miss it the time penalty is short. Enjoy!
