Dunno the answer but the EU seems to mostly harmonise on 5 years for PR, not less anywhere I know off.

You can apply for 'regulier onbepaalde tijd' after 5 years. I believe you have to wait another year after this to apply for naturalisation but you should check this with your 'Gemeente'.

'Deze verblijfsvergunning
kunt u alleen aanvragen als u:
– vijf jaar of langer in Nederland woont met een verblijfsvergunning
voor bepaalde tijd'

You can get a Permanent Residence after living in The Netherlands for five years continuously.

Naturalization is however, a completely different matter. In order to naturalize, you'll need to get a permanent residence first, and then take the NT1 and NT2 exams which test your fluency in the Dutch language. And they are not easy to pass.

Further, I presume you are availing the 30% tax ruling for expats? If you decide to naturalize , you will need to pay back all the tax you have saved by being under the 30% rule. After five years, that amount will run into the tens of thousands of Euros.

Hope this helps.
