Regarding entry into the Schengen area from a port different to the country that issued my Schengen visa

It is generally best practice to first enter the country issuing the visa, but authorities in Latvia will likely be more relaxed than if the situation were reversed (entering NL on LV visa).
I do strongly suggest that you buy your Eurail pass BEFORE your trip as it will be considerably cheaper and there are also some options you can only purchase while outside of Europe.
Latvia, along with other Baltic countries, is not included in a Eurail pass. Rail travel between Baltics and the rest of Europe is technically possible, but is slow, uncomfortable, and no less expensive than travel by bus or even air.
The closest point of entry to the Eurail system from Latvia is Warsaw, Poland.
If you wish to travel from Riga and explore nearby countries, for example Lithuania, I suggest to travel by bus, same with to Warsaw.

If you are sure you want to use a rail pass, consider buying it online before your travel.
Also get some seat reservations for trains you want to use.
Or, and this may well be cheaper, buy tickets for your trains, for specific dates and times. You lose the flexibility of a rail pass but get surety for immigration at the border instead.
If you are no rail fan, a flight to Amsterdam will likely be cheaper, faster and more enjoyable.
Just your plans and itinerary should be enough for immigration, seat reservations and/or tickets for the trains make your plans stronger.
