Gefeliciteerd is congratulations, and at a Dutch birthday you say it to everyone: gefeliciteerd met je moeder! = congratulations on your mum('s birthday)! Yes, really.
Beterschap is 'get well soon'. Welterusten is 'good night, sleep well', the last thing you say (or text) before bed. For a short night message, slaap lekker works too.
