Another option is as follows - Amsterdam Amstel station exit at the trams then walk left to the traffic square Prins Bernhardplein, then right on the sidewalk with red cycling lane and see the blue sign with a white thumb and "Amsterdam end of city". Used it twice, waited both times 15 mins for rides dir. Utrecht/Eindhoven using cardboards Utrecht/Eindhoven.

You can already start hitching while walking on this road, if you want to test your luck. At the end of the road you can stand at the traffic lights before the crossing and pro-actively ask drivers who go straight, to drop you at the next petrol station 200 meters further. You can also walk over the bridge and try it at the hard shoulder (less good), or even walk further over the hard-shoulder and the grass towards a petrol station 250 meters further, behind the bend. Be careful when walking here, the space between you and cars is minimal.
Just before Utrecht, after exit 5 ([[Breukelen]]) and just some kilometers before the Utrecht Ring you find a big petrol-station called [http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verzorgingsplaats_Haarrijn Haarrijn]. This is an excellent spot to find drivers for larger distances.
