Since RC6, there is an option to set default locale. You can do it in your AppModule, first you need to import LOCALE_ID:

import { LOCALE_ID } from '@angular/core';

Then you can change its default us-US value in your module's providers, in your case nl-NL:

@NgModule({
    imports: [...],
    declarations: [...],
    bootstrap: [...],
    providers: [
        { provide: LOCALE_ID, useValue: "nl-NL" }
    ]
})
