He should be alright, though I would be nervous to travel with that tight of a margin.
How long is he in the Netherlands? Is it long enough for him to apply for and receive a US passport from the embassy/consulate there?
That would be a safer route I would think.

Yes. The airlines see people all the time with more than one passport. An expiring passport on the day of travel is cutting it a bit close, but is not a problem in itself.

My Son is US and Dutch citizen. We live in the US. I just found out that his US passport expires On the day he returns to the US. His Dutch passport is valid for another 3 months. Can he check in at the airline with his Dutch passport and return On his US passport?
He can only check in with his Dutch passport if he applies for and is granted ESTA authorization. In the application, he will have to declare that he is also a US citizen. We have had a few reports here of people getting ESTA authorization after making such a disclosure, but the government could change its rules such that dual citizens cannot get ESTA authorization. It may already have made that change; the criteria for deciding ESTA applications are not public. Furthermore, the application could be denied for any of several other reasons.
But your son can check in with his US passport. It need be valid only on the day of arrival.
As noted in another answer however, if there's time for him to get a passport at his nearest embassy or consulate, he should probably do that for peace of mind. If his flight to the US were to be cancelled or delayed so that his arrival would be the next day or later, he could have done trouble getting back home.
