The flagdescription is at this webpage (bottom of page):

“Argent a wavy fess azure with on top an opened castle with five embattlements, and below a crescent noir. The shield surmonté with a crown or with three leaves and two pearls."
Explanation of the arms: The wavy bar symbolizes the Vliet river, flowing through both former municipalities. The castle symbolizes the burgh of Voorburg. The crescent is from the Wassenaar (=crescent) family, which ruled Leidschendam since 1339.
