I would suggest to split up your question for one European route planner into one or more Dutch and German route planners. Then you take more advantage of available local expertise.
3 local route planners for the Netherlands:

There are more initiatives but they all cover only one region or city.3 local route planners in Germany (Berlin, Nordrhein Westphalen and Hessen):

The short cut between Brussels and Boom is illustrated by a small part of this route:

The LF2 consists of a Belgian part leading from Brussels towards Leuven, Mechelen, Antwerp and Essen:

and a Dutch part connecting Essen with Dordrecht, Rotterdam and Amsterdam:
http://www.routeyou.com/route/view/116853/route-lf2-nl.nlIt's entirely signposted in Flanders and in the Netherlands. In Brussels Capital Region (Brussel/Bruxelles, Elsene/Ixelles, Uccle/Ukkel and Watermaal-Bosvoorde) there is some contradictionary information about the signs being present or not. So in that part it's better to buy the guide or to make a few prints.
If you want to skip the beautiful landscapes south and east of Brussels, you can go immediately to the north, along the not so scenic Brussels-Scheldt Maritime Canal and pick up in Boom the LF2 again.
