I don't think the whole of holland will be vanished. Only the western side is below sea level. I know "'t Gooi" around Hilversum and Bussum where I used to live are quite safe because it's about 10-20 meters above sea level. Also Amersfoo
Also if you look at past maps you can see that especially the east provinces: Utrecht, Noord-Brabant, Limburg, Drenthe and the east of Groningen have not been submerged in known history.
However it could be that if a lot of the rivers are going to flood and that can still create mayor problems, look at the time when Maastricht was drowned by the Maas somewhere in the 1990's.
My bet is that having a good inflatable rubber boat or something might be a good thing to have.
