The standard place for the euro is on a us keyboard is something with a 5 (because on the 5 key there is a euro symbole). I have misread the debian euro howto. Thought it was CTRL-ALT-5 but it seems to be AltGr+5. I don't know what a logical place would be on a nl-keyboard so i don't know if what you are doing is wish.
May i do a suggestion: Can we have a us keyboard optimized for dutch ?
