The Netherlands requires most travellers from outside the EU to present a negative PCR test result to show that they are not carriers of COVID-19. One of the exemptions to this rule is:

People arriving from countries on the EU list of safe countries;

Does that exemption still apply if one departs from a country on the list, has a layover (same ticket; different flight; without leaving the airport) in a third country that's not on the list (or otherwise exempted), to continue the final flight to the Netherlands?

So the flight path is as follows:

Safe country on the EU list => third country outside Schengen that's not on the list => the Netherlands
