You can enter while the visa is valid. If you want to enter, leave (schengen area) and come back, make sure your visa is multiple entry.

@pm1329 yes, I've done this. But once you use your Visa D for entrance you're required to declare your arrival in the commune within 8 days - so just do this and let the commune know your plans.

I am going to enter to Belgium on 20th of January.
Can you please tell me what are the next procedures ?

Go to the commune of residence to state your arrival and find an accomodation to get the resident permit.
