Not yet.
Prime minister Rutte made a short statement that he is on his way to The Hague and will make a formel statement later. (expected within 90 minutes)

,,Ik ben diep geschokt door de dramatische berichten over het neerstorten van vlucht MH17 van Malaysian Airlines van Amsterdam naar Kuala Lumpur boven Oekraïens grondgebied.
Nog heel veel is onduidelijk over de toedracht, de omstandigheden en de inzittenden.
Ik heb zojuist gesproken met de Oekraïense President.
Ben nu onderweg terug naar Nederland om vanuit Den Haag de situatie verder te volgen en te handelen.
Onze gedachten gaan nu uit naar de inzittenden, hun familie en vrienden."`

Google Translate:
'I am deeply shocked by the tragic news about the crash of flight MH17 from Malaysian Airlines from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over Ukrainian territory.
Still very much is unclear about the facts, circumstances and the occupants.
I just talked with the Ukrainian president.
I'm on my way back to the Netherlands to The Hague to monitor the situation and continue to act.
Our thoughts are now looking forward to the passengers, their families and friends. "
