Meneer is more when speaking.
When writing it's mostly "De heer"
When abbreviating that it goes like this > Dhr or Hr
Mr is something else, see below*.
Women: Mevrouw -> Mw
We have many titles in e.g. higher education. Unfortunately not much time to list them.
Is there a particular you want to know, then I'll certainly look it up.
Meanwhile, here is an English wiki page on
Dutch academic degrees, which should provide a lot of info.
There are Dutch page on titles, (
click and
click) but I can't translate it all now. :/
I copied this from the English wiki page, it might be interesting to compare with the English rules:

For medical students the "doctorandus" degree is not equivalent to the MD (Medical Doctor) degree in the Anglo Saxon culture, but it is comparable to a MSc. Subsequently, it does not give the medical student to opportunity to treat patients. For this a minimum of two years additional study (internships) is required. The correct notation for a Dutch physician who did complete his or her medical studies, but did not pursue a doctor (PhD-like) study is "drs." (e.g. drs. Jansen) and not "dr." in medicine, as often used incorrectly. The professional notation "arts" (= physician) or similar can be added behind one's name, e.g. drs. Jansen, arts, or drs. Jansen, surgeon. This last notation is extremely rare, since Dutch surgeons commonly are only granted access to surgeon training/ positions after completing a promotion (PhD) successfully. In the old medical curriculum the title doctorandus (drs.) is obtained after at least 4 years of study, with the completion of 240 ECTS. After obtaining a physician diploma, Dutch physicians must still work as residents for two to six years in their preferred field of expertise to become a registered medical specialist.
A doctorandus in law is allowed to carry the title "meester" (master, abbreviated as mr*. Jansen) and some studies like for example physics grant the title "ingenieur" (engineer, noted as ir. Jansen). Not uncommon, the Dutch "drs." abbreviation can cause much confusion in other countries, since it is perceived as a person who has a PhD in multiple disciplines.
