You have not really provided enough information. Why do you have to live in Belgium? If you rent a property in the Netherlands and visit Belgium, then you can probably keep current status.
You need to consult an accountant and if it is a big company, talk to your HR department. There are clear guidelines for cross border working and residency and tax.
If you are already getting expat benefits (e.g. the 30% ruling) in the Netherlands, that is something applied for and managed through your employer. You should speak to them.
You'll probably want these in Dutch or English. Google for the equivalent of "travail transfrontalier belgique"
