 That's because the word you're trying to hyphenate is
"Amsterdam-Buitenveldert", not "Amsterdam".  Compound words are by
default hyphenated only at the hyphen in TeX.

\setbreakpoints[compound] works in the following sample:

   \language[nl]
   \setbreakpoints[compound]
   \starttext
   \hyphenatedword{Amsterdam--Buitenveldert}
   \stoptext

I don’t know whether it would make sense to use an en-dash for compound
words in Dutch.

I hope it helps now,
