I ride between Tilburg and Antwerpen from time to time. I'm a big fan of riding along the canal Dessel-Turnhout-Schoten. If you choose not to go via Zeeland, I can totally recommend sticking to that canal till Sint-Lenaarts and then head up north (via Breda and Utrecht probably). I found that having stretches of the trip where I absolutely do not have to worry about navigation does wonders for my endurance (and mood ;).
