I bought 2 adults and 1 child ticket (it is 16yo in the uk before adult
prices).

What's the age in Holland?

Child fares up to 11. When they turn 12 it's adult fares.

Are they on commision for the fines?

There's been a new policy regarding selling tickets on the train since
October last year: no tickets are sold on the train, under any
circumstances.
When you end up on the train without a ticket *and it's not your fauult
(of course this still happens), it's best *not* to pay the fine but tell
the inspector you tried to buy a ticket but failed. You will (or should)
get a "postponement of payment" paper and the central services in
Utrecht will get back to you. If they still demand the 35 euro fine, you
can then object and they may replace that by the normal fare.
