You will have top contact your national embassy or consulate to find out that information.

That whole procedure is still under discussion in the Dutch Parlement, it will only apply to new cases.

So if you are becoming a US citizen right now you should be ok.

Have a look at these links,

First of all, current regulations in the Netherlands state that by default one will lose Dutch citizenship when becoming a citizen of another country. Couple of exceptions apply and one of them is that if you live in another country and you are married to a citizen of that country and you acquire citizenship of that country you won't lose your Dutch citizenship. This is the exception that I'm currently using in applying for my US citizenship. See http://www.minbuza.nl/producten-en-diensten/burgerzaken/nederlandse-nationaliteit/een-andere-nationaliteit-verkrijgen.html

The Dutch government is currently proposing to eleminate these exceptions for future naturalization cases. This proposal is still to be voted on in Dutch congress (2e en 1e kamer) so will at least take 3-4 months and most likely more time to become law.

If you are married to a USC and are eligible to apply for N-400 then you might wanna go for it soon.
