      var table = $('#table_id').DataTable({
          orderCellsTop: true,
          fixedHeader: true,
          "scrollY": 460,
          "scrollX": true,
          dom: 'Bfrtip',
          buttons: [
              'copy', 'csv', 'excel', 'pdf', 'print'
          ],
          "dom": 'Bfrtip',
          "buttons": [
              'copyHtml5',
              'excelHtml5',

  The first problem is you are defining the buttons twice, although the second should be the one used.

  If the buttons aren't showing then I would start by making sure you are loading the buttons JS and CSS and associated dependancies like the HTML Export JS. You can generate the proper files using the Download Builder. Also these docs explain what is needed:
  https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/

  The above code looks like it should work, as long as you remove one of the buttons definitions. If you continue to have difficulties we will need to see your page to help troubleshoot. Please post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue.
