Can I take an ex boyfriend to small claims court over 1200$ I lended to him while we were together?

In September of 2016 I lended 1000$ to my boyfriend at the time and another additional 200$ a few months later. He promised to give it back, but never did. After we broke up in July, 2017 I contacted him again asking to give the money back seeing as we are not together anymore. After numerous messages and phone calls he continues ignoring me and I want to take action. I even have a video of a friend calling my ex from their number, the ex picks up and pretends to be unaware of the situation. After more calls/messages to him, his work, his friends, I still haven't heard from him. I am not an American citizen, I am currently living in the Netherlands and I was on my J-1 visa at the time this occurred. Is there any legal action I can take? Any advice is much appreciated.
