The Netherlands, like the country name of Holland, uses the proper adjective Dutch. The word Dutch can also be the plural collective noun for people in or from the Netherlands : the Dutch.
The adjective is "Dutch," as in this sentence: "I love the people in The Netherlands, but I cannot bear the Dutch weather."

Dutch is the adjective form, but it is also a proper noun used as the collective plural demonym, i.e the Dutch is synonymous with the Dutch people. There is no singular of the demonym noun in English.
