I mean, they kinda place King's/Queen's Day how it suits them. And there are possible Christian holidays in the second half of the year as well.

FYI: King’s day is celebrated on the king’s birthday. Not on some randomly selected day.

Sure, that's why they kept it at the 30.4., when Beatrix got queen, who has her birthday on 31.1.

Except for Queen Beatrix’s birthday which was originally in January and her mother's was in September, but both of them celebrated Queen’s day in April.

So they really move the date around as it is convenient to be a nicer celebration.
