Travel restrictions are fast-changing. Travelers should look into the current rules that apply to them for the destination they wish to visit (for example, requirements for a COVID test or possible quarantine, what documentation is required), and also for rules that apply to their return trip (for example, the need to quarantine after returning home).
New requirement: negative COVID-19 test results
From December 29, 2020 passengers (including Dutch nationals) must present a recent negative PCR test declaration in order to board an aircraft bound for the Netherlands.
There are exceptions to this rule, for instance if you depart from a country that is on the EU list of safe countries, which includes Iceland. This exception is only valid if passengers are flying directly to the Netherlands from Iceland or another country on the EU list. If you transit through a third country, for instance taking the route Reykjavik - Copenhagen (transit) - Amsterdam, you must present a negative test result.
Also note that passengers who merely transit through the Netherlands, and never leave the airport, must nevertheless present a negative test result.
Everyone arriving in the Netherlands is strongly advised to self-quarantine for a period of 10 days.
