Four trip discount on Netherlands trains?
AMS to Amsterdam, next day to Haarlem and back, third day back to Schiphol.
Each single trip is €4 but is there a way to combine them into less than €16?
Also, for the Haarlem trip, I’ll have a bicycle. I understand that normally adds €6—does it affect the discount (if such exists)?

TL;DR: Yes for the question in the title, but no for the specifics in the body.
There are four trip discounts in the Netherlands. Or rather, you can travel with four people for a fixed price. However, that's only interesting for longer trips than between Haarlem and Amsterdam (which are very close together). For longer trips though, it certainly pays. The Groupticket off-peak hours always you to travel (one-way) with four people for € 30. To expensive to use it to travel to Haarlem, but I wanted to mention this anyway, in case someone is triggered by your question and checks it out.
