Murray, who lost in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in January to Roger Federer, is scheduled to play in Acapulco later this month before the higher-profile tournaments at Indian Wells and Miami.
"Last week I contacted Andy Murray and his management," said Rotterdam tournament director Richard Krajicek. "Because he didn't have a tournament planned between Australian Open and Acapulco and came back from Australia free from physical issues, it seemed like a good idea to both of us if he came to Rotterdam.
"After consultation with his coach Ivan Lendl he decided. Obviously this is a great addition to our already very strong field. An excellent opportunity."
The Scot has won the Rotterdam title once before, beating Rafael Nadal in the final in 2009.
