For a German, the most intuitive way to get to Maastricht would actually be to go through Cologne, Dusseldorf, or Frankfurt. From Koeln or Duesseldorf it should be around an hour by car---no more than two hours even considering traffic. Both airport have a rather limited number of intercontinental flights, but good connections within Europe. From Frankfurt, when going by car, add another hour.
Yes, Koeln-Duesseldorf has very good connections inside Europe and is about an hour by car from Maastricht. I know at least 1 Maastricht based company that does most of its air travel starting there. I wouldn't take a train from K-D to Maastricht (3.5 hours), but there are a number of shuttle buses.
It takes a 3 hour train ride (longer during weekends) to get to Maastricht from Schiphol (Amsterdam airport) and a 2 hour one from Zaventem (Brussels airport).
On the Sunday that the IETF starts, it is 2:34 or 2:38 from Schiphol to Maastricht. The train station on Schiphol is below the arrivals hall, in Maastricht it ends in downtown.
