Great question. The Netherlands had the Princess Irene Brigade. Below is a history of this Brigade from a very good source:

Norway had their own RAF squadron with also danish pilots
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._331_Squadron_RAF
A lot of danish and norwegian sailors manned the merchant fleet
and many were killed. They are sometimes mentioned as the forgotten heroes, which they surely are. SOE also sent danish and norwegian agents by parachute to activate and support local resticence

The Dutch armed forces in the far east continued fighting on the allied side after the occupation.
The same is true of Belgian forces in the Congo who participated in the East African, Madagascar and Burma Campaigns.
The Royal Norwegian Navy continued to operate from allied bases throughout the occupation of their homeland and made a substantial contribution to the war effort.
