A group of us are feeling crazy. The flights are so-so priced, so we are interested in driving from Zurich toward Amsterdam. By train it is about 11 hrs by night, but it is often a little quicker by car, yes? Any help would be good, thanks!

A site I've used for this kind of thing, and one of the best I've personally come across, is www.mappy.com - where it claims that the express route from Zurich to Amsterdam is just over 8 hours drive (776km), and taking the non-toll route adds another 50-odd kilometres (824km) and half an hour or so. If you type in the exact addresses, you can an even more accurate distance and likely time for the drive.
I haven't travelled the route by train, but www.raileurope.com claims that it'll take about 8 hours by train, assuming no delays.
'Mappy' gives detailed directions and toll costs, plus a rough estimation of fuel costs. All of these things, time included, are obviously best guesses, based on speed limits - because it clearly can't determine how long you take for traffic problems, stops or detours!
I've driven that route before, and it's a nice drive off the motorways if you have the time and inclination - I took a big detour and stayed in a village hotel near Luxembourg on the way there. I've driven in the other direction (Amsterdam to Zurich) a couple of times, but gone via France and Geneva - and stayed two nights in small hotels on the way. A very beautiful drive!

In Amsterdam is a broad spectrum of attractions for recreational and cultural sightseeing. They range between exciting old structures, just like the Oude Kerk, to oddities like the Hash

You can do this journey by car in approx 8 hours - depending on traffic conditions; maybe even less when driving at night.
If you go by train the journey will take 8-9 hours.
