Simone Magill scored the opener from close range on 43 minutes after Marissa Callaghan's effort was blocked.
The Aston Villa striker headed home a second a minute after the restart.
Danielle Maxwell added a third on 58 minutes and Megan Bell rounded out the win late on as NI put in their best performance under Tanya Oxtoby.
The win moves Oxtoby's side into second place, the promotion play-off spot, in Group B1 ahead of Hungary, who face group winners Republic of Ireland in Dublin at 19:45 GMT.
After sustained pressure, Northern Ireland made the breakthrough three minutes before half-time when Lauren Wade's cutback was met by Callaghan, whose effort was blocked by Maliqi.
However, the ball rebounded to Magill and the Aston Villa striker managed to squeeze the ball over the line to give the visitors a deserved lead.
Magill added a second immediately after the restart when she headed home Danielle Maxwell's cross, and the Cliftonville winger turned from provider to goalscorer when her first-time finish found the net.
Rangers midfielder Bell headed home Demi Vance's corner on 85 minutes to complete an emphatic victory.
