In no way shape or form are Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark or even Italy considered Central Europe.

You could maybe consider them the Central Europe of Western Europe, if you want to stretch some definitions :)

Central Europe is basically Germany, Poland and the former Habsburg Empire.

Really, never heard that before. In my circles even part of Germany is secretly considered Eastern Europe. Maybe it's more political than geographical. Don't know.
