He received some lessons in piano and theory from his father and his eldest brother; he later studied the flute. In 1791 he went to Amsterdam, where he became a piano teacher. He was second flautist in the orchestras Felix Meritis and Eruditio Musica, where as a pianist he also introduced concertos by Mozart and Beethoven. He became one of the most important musicians in the Netherlands, being on several committees, including the music faculty of the Koninklijk Nederlandsch Instituut voor Wetenschappen, Letteren en Schoone Kunsten in Amsterdam (1808-1847), and the Maatschappij tot Bevordering der Toonkunst (1829-1841). He served on the juries of composition competitions, examined organists for church appointments and was Amsterdam correspondent of AMZ (1814- 1815). From 1823 to 1846 he was the organist at the United Baptist Church in Amsterdam.
Wilms is known as the composer of Wien Neêrlandsch bloed, the semi-official Dutch hymn of the 19th century, and the arrangement for wind ensemble of the piano fantasy De Schlacht von Waterloo. Most of his compositions are in an 18th-century style, although some early Romantic traits appear, notably in development sections. His overture in F minor and symphony in D minor Op. 58 (1823) are both in Nederlandse Orkestmuziek, ed. D. van Heuvel (Arnhem, 1995).
