i hope you have done more research regarding your temporary stay (or aren't explaining the whole situation) because "temporary" must mean 90 days or less unless you have arranged to have a residence permit before you enter the country. To be eligible for a residence permit you must have a very good reason to stay (such as amnesty) or proof that you will be leaving soon (you are in Holland only to study for a short time) or that you can provide some sort of service that an average dutch person could not (this typically means you need to have a masters degree or a doctorate) and even people with one of these reasons typically has a fair amount of difficulty getting a residence permit.

if you need more information on whether or not you are eligible for this kind of thing look at the dutch immigration page at the following website.
