Keeping Indonesia after Max Haveland was published was difficult to justify and Indonesia's independence movement was well organized.
Even if it was well organized, there would be a huge morale boost from beating the Nazis, which would cause the KNIL to swell in size and more motivated; not even to mention the fact that this would have given them an excuse for an Anglo-Dutch force to basically conquer the entire Pacific (making the Netherlands even bigger)
I thought the U.S.A. more or less forced the Netherlands to give up Indonesia because they were anti-colonization and almost al other countries had given up their colonies by then. So in order to let the Netherlands keep Indonesia, the U.S.A. should have either no might or no anti-colonization policy.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

william of orange makes the stadtholdership hereditary.
bingo, the ntherlands just took over britain. this would be HUGE. (OTL british empire + USA + Dutch empire.)
Wait. I just realize the only PoD neccesary is to make Stadhouder Willem III straight.He married Mary II, but they didn't get any children because Willem was secretly homosexual, which wasn't really accepted in the 17th century. If Mary would have given birth to a son, he would have become the Stadhouder of most of the Dutch provinces and king of England, just like Willem was.
But that would be a wank to big.
@Canadian Federation: Luxembourg was in personal union with the Netherlands but declared independence as late as 1890 because when king Willem III (not the same guy as the stadhouder) died and Wilhelmina became queen. The Luxembourgian constitution didn't allow a female had of state back then.
