You cannot just move to another country. A visitor visa is good for 90 days, after which you need to leave the country. You can't just go across the border to Belgium and re-enter, you'll be denied re-entry. The only realistic way your son will be able to move to the Netherlands is if he marries his girlfriend and immigrates on a spousal visa.
