On Tuesday, 30 April 2013, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands will sign an instrument of abdication. 
On the same day will be the investiture of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. 
 
This occasion in the Netherlands does not involve an actual crowning nor does a crowning follow at a later date. 
 
The following website, http://www.koninklijkhuis.nl/globale-paginas/taalrubrieken/english/abdication-and-investiture/ 
is full of official information about the abdicaton, swearing in, investiture and celebrations.   
The contents list to the left of that page offers a wealth of information. 
 
There will be a dinner on the evening before and celebrations on the day. 
 
After the ceremonies, the titles for Queen Beatrix, Prince Willem-Alexander and his wife Princess Maxima will be - 
 
His Majesty King Willem-Alexander, King of the Netherlands, Prince of Orange-Nassau
