I don't know exactly where this card is from but google images suggests it might be from Zaanse Schans. I've been there and yes, even though we can't see much of the village on the card, Zaanse Schans might be the exact location.

Located just north of Amsterdam, the Zaanse Schans offers a perfectly preserved glimpse into the Netherlands' industrial past with its traditional houses, windmills, warehouses and workshops.
In its 18th and 19th century heyday, the Zaan region was an important industrial area dotted by hundreds of windmills producing linseed oil, paint, snuff, mustard, paper and other products. Many of the Zaanse Schans' characteristic village houses are now museums, gift shops or workshops while others are still used as private residences. - in: https://www.iamsterdam.com/en/plan-your-trip/day-trips/old-holland/industrial-heritage/zaanse-schans
