The tube will not be running to Terminal 4 for over a year whilst
construction takes place for the new terminal 5.

Tube Services from Terminals 1, 2 and 3 station (Heathrow Central) will
continue, so you don't have to travel by bus into Central London.

You don't say when you are travelling or which terminal you are using, but
the info you want is probably at

There is also another railway from Heathrow to London which is remaining
open, but it costs a lot of money. See http://www.heathrowexpress.com/

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

Though it is free to use Heathrow Express between the two airport stations,
and it is shown as a better option than the replacement buses for Terminal 4
if people have difficulty using stairs, or have much luggage, whilst the
tube is truncated to Terminals 1,2 and 3 during the construction period.

Most flights from the Netherlands use T4, so the OP is indeed likely to
be affected by the temporary closure of the Piccadilly T4 station.
