But I dont see any direct train !! :(
That shouldn't be a problem. It's impossible to have direct trains from and to everywhere, in whatever country! :-)
Dutch stations are very easy to navigate, almost everyone speaks at least some English (most people are pretty fluent), signage is clear and you have ample time to make the connection. Ticket machines are easy to use and have English language options.
The Dutch railway website even gives you platform numbers, which is more than many other railway websites do!
You'll be absolutely fine. Even if you miss the connection, there are freqyuent trains to Haarlem from Amsterdam (where you will change).
Journey time is 1h 21m, one-way fare is 15.80 euro (same-day return 30.20 euro).
You will have to change trains in Amsterdam.
For what to see/do in Haarlem, have a look at the pages and tips written by VT locals and visitors here:

In a reply to a previous question of yours, you will have found the link to ALL public transportation in The Netherlands (English version):

If you need only trains, then the link http://www.ns.nl/cs/Satellite/travellers is sufficient.
These two links are all you need! Easy, eh?
You asked before how to get from Den Bosch to Amsterdam. It's the same route, except you change trains at Amsterdam Central to go to Haarlem, as advised by vtveen.
Enjoy your visit!
In Haarlem (note: 2 'aa') you can do a nice boat ride and hear abit about the history.

This is the second time I have been to Den Bosch. The first I had this map from the tourist office that suggested this walk through the city. This time we almost made a similar walk. If you click on the map, you can see the it more clearly.
For me, the statue of Zoete Lieve Gerritje embodies Den Bosch. I've been frequenting this city as a kid and it's grown on me.
Make sure you see the statue as you could easily miss it, but if you're going for the boat tour you'll pass it anyway. I miss the uncomplicated and homely atmosphere of Den Bosch, and although I don't think I'd move back, I'm always happy to visit the city each time I'm in Holland!

At first sight one wouldn't say that Den Bosch is situated in a swamp, but here, where "Dieze", "Dommel" and "Aa" meander and cross the town, the soil is wet through and through. Much of the canals are hidden, as they run under the houses, that were built over it. This however called out for heavy polution and bad smells all over the town in medieval times, when people littered all garbage, incl. *** etc. directly into the "open" sewage-systems: the canals.
Liuckely that has changed and now a boattour shows you a surprising, romantic, mysterious, and hidden place of the Brabant capitol. Taking the boattour.
Every year at the 5th of may, there is a multi-cultural music festival on "de Parade" (square next to the St. Jan), there are 2 main podiums and some small, there are also all king of differnt stall you can eat food from differnt countries.
The festival starts at noon till midnight
If you walk along the water (continued from the previous tip)on your right you'll find stairs. Walk up and you'll see this impressive gate. At first I thought it was an entrance to some monastery and I took several pictures. I assumed that it was closed for visitors because of the Queen's Day and didn' even try to find out what it looks like from inside. When I was ready to continue my tour a litle kid appeared from nowhere, he walked to the gate and walked through leaving it open. To my surprise I discovered that the gate was nothing but a door to the street. Once you walk through you find youself on a busy road with cars and buses. It is known that Den Bosch was surrouned by a wall, probably the gate was the way to the town.
