Thousands of people are expected to turn up in the capital as the queen lays a wreath to honour all those who have died in conflicts from World War II onwards.
There will also be a two-minute silence at 8pm.
Parts of the Amstel, where the traditional Liberation Day concert takes place on May 5 will also be closed off to normal traffic, the paper says.
Ceremonies to remember the dead will take place all over the country on Tuesday evening.
