Dutch people's reaction is probably more of a combination of blue and pink ("Congrats, that's cute, but why'd you put yourself through this? We can just speak English"), but most people will actually appreciate the effort and go through with speaking in Dutch if you insist.

If you are from Germany on the other hand it is mandatory to greet in Dutch. They will answer you in German then.
