The only possible way that (dutch) embassies will be of any assistance is if you require a new passport.
Questions regarding anything else will be met with a haughty, nasty, and down-the-nose stare, after which they will consent to explain to you - at length and nauseam - that the purpose of an embassy abroad is to promote Dutch business abroad, hobnob with the expats, other embassies and members of the oldboy network, and certainly not to talk to, much less entertain dusty travelers who are clearly penniless (otherwise you'd've dressed better).
If you require letters of introduction, statements or anything that will pretty much entail them typing for a bit and applying an old-looking stamp on faux-papyrus, they might eventually find the time, but will charge ridiculous amounts of money for said service...
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for embassies. I mean, even  need jobs, and they can do less damage far away from home...
