Actually 'niksen' in the way we dutch use it can be used negatively. I think it's most commonly used that way 'ben je weer aan het niksen?' (parent/boss tells child/employee to go do something useful). Although sometimes people might say they are 'even lekker aan het niksen' (the pretext here is they are normally busy, so they are taking just a little while to relax while they can).
