Trains are around two hours with either direct trains at the hour (:04) or transferring once through Zwolle. These trains leave at the half hour (:34). Tickets for these trains can be purchased in the kiosks (with a maestro card but not all credit cards work on these) or at the airport in person at the NS train ticket counter. This is outside of the baggage area near where the trains depart.
