As I can see on this website, there are 12 trains each day from North Station to Shenzhen. Ticket price would be around USD39/ USD20 / USD14 per person. You can input your departure station as "Guangzhou North" so there would be schedule listed for this station.

Well, by rail, you may try to take the shuttle bus or taxi to the North station and then go for Shenzhen North by rail. Or you can atke the bus from airport to Shenzhen. There should be bus service to Shenzhen offered, the duration may around 2.5 hours. The bus seems available around every 1 hour from 9:30am to 10pm.
