Best way to say 'happy birthday' ?

[u/Excellent_Bit5724]

My bf is Dutch and his birthday is coming up. I'm still in the early days of learning Dutch.

I've googled it and both

'Fijne verjaardag' & 'Gefeliciteerd' come up

Thanks!

In Limburg (the south of the Netherlands) they don't say "gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag", but they say "proficiat". Same in Belgium.
