Hi! It seems that you have added [ˈɣraːxəˈdaːn] here and also changed /xraːx/ to /ɣraːx/ here, didn't you? Why? I don't speak Dutch, but a Dutch speaker told me he pronounces G in both graag and gedaan the same. Here, it is [xrax] too. Do you know any authentic resource (an online dictionary or something) that I could check such things online? Thanks.

Some dialects pronounce /ɣ/ and /x/ the same (both voiceless), while in others, they're different. See w:Dutch phonology.
With "graag gedaan" there's also another change. "graag" ends with /x/ and "gedaan" begins with /ɣ/. When these two sounds come together, assimilation occurs which leaves only /x/.
