They chose Holland because the Dutch allowed religious freedom. But it was not long before the good Separatists found that the society of the Dutch was having a major influence on their children. And so having strong religious beliefs on raising children, to be responsible and God fearing adults they knew they needed to move to a place where they not only could be free from all persecution, but where they could also start a society free of the worldly influences that could ruin their children's lives. A very excellent, modern example of this same idea is the Home-school movement. Parents have long known that the American school system has been failing in recent decades and so started their own Christian schools or other private institutions where they could freely teach things like Creation and Biblical standards and raise good citizens without interference. This movement really began to boom in the 80's. But then some parents realized that a school is still a school, and Christian or not, students still undergo peer pressure and still deal with standards of ethics and education that might not be up to par with the parents standards at home. An an even better solution was needed; Homeschooling. There, at home, like the early Separatist settlers, the parents had complete control of the environment and could raise their kids as they saw fit free from troublesome influences.

Why did the pilgrims leaves Europe?

The Pilgrims (or Separatists) left Europe because they believed that the reforms of the Anglican church had not gone far enough. In order to be rightful interpreters of The Bible independent of an inherited social and cultural order, the Pilgrims knew they had to leave England and separate themselves from the Anglican church. They first moved to Holland. After 12 years of a hard life in Holland, the Pilgrims decided to move again. They hoped to find a "better and easier place of living", to propagate and advance the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in remote parts of the world, and to be left alone to live in their own pure and righteous way. They also knew that Holland's truce with Catholic Spain was near its end and the Pilgrims would have been wiped out if Spain took control of Holland.
