Could anyone help me with an itinerary for a camping holiday in Holland?

I'm off to Holland for 10 days over the Easter hols with my family- 3 adults, 4 kids aged 8-15 (and a dog!) travelling by campervan.

Would really appreciate some help from anyone that can help me arrange these places into a rough itinerary (and add any recommendations). We like to move around every 2 nights and happy to go off the beaten track. Prefer cycling/being outdoors to museums & cities.

Starting off with 2 nights at Duinrell, we'd like to visit:
Giethoorn
Edam
The Hague
Efteling
Kinderijk
Bulb fields

Would love to hear some ideas!

My family think that the best campsite in the Netherlands is Little Wolf (De Kleine Wolf). It should definitely be your base for when you visit Giethoorn. Close to Giethoorn, there’s an attraction called Orchideen Hoeve which is well worth visiting. Also try to fit in a visit to Hans & Grietje Pannenkoekenhuis.

We explored The Hague whilst staying at Duinrell. It’s only about 45mins into the city by bike, and I’d definitely recommend visiting Madurodam while you’re there.

We stayed at Beekse Bergen when we went to Efteling. www.beeksebergen.nl/en/stay-the-night/camping
It was so handy. I’d suggest one full day at Efteling and another full day at Beekse Bergen itself.

The bulb fields could be done en route from Duinrell to Edam, but definitely the best way to see them is to hire bikes and cycle the Tulip Route flowertour.nl/routes-round-keukenhof/tulip-tour-bike-hike-the-flower-fields/?lang=en We stayed at Koningshof campsite which has bike hire.

We never quite got here, because of Covid, but I liked the look of this site www.dekampeertuin.nl/en/ which is near Hoorn, in the North. You could visit the Zuiderzee museum in Enkhuizen, Alkmaar, Volendam, Edam before taking the road over Markermeer to Giethoorn. The Zuiderzee museum is mainly outdoors- lots of old houses etc that you can pop in, like Beamish or the Black country museum.

Deventer is nice for a wander, and near to the Veluwe national park.

In the area of Beekse/Efteling, you could visit Baarle Nassau/Baarle Hertog. This town is a part Belgian enclave in the Netherlands. There are white lines on the streets to mark the Belgian/Netherlands borders and the houses have national flags on them too. We stayed at
