Simple answer: no. More accurate: Still no, but there is a reason for people thinking there are two capitals. Amsterdam is the nation's capitol. However, the government resides in The Hague. It's been that way for a really long time. The reason for this is that before the Netherlands become one country, it was made up of nation-states. Two fo these were North-Holland and South-Holland, with Amsterdam and Den Haag (The Hague) being the respective capital cities of these states. Eventually, after various unifications and treaties, the government of the newly formed Netherlands came to reside in Den Haag, but Amsterdam was later made the country's capital because of its higher stature and power.
