I have used the elite interrogation line many times at AMS as a CO Silver.

However, I would ask why it matters. Once through the questioning, you are basically herded into a too-small waiting area with nothing to see or do. You do not get to board any earlier. I usually linger outside and wait to enter until the line is nearly gone, to avoid being couped up for too long.

It is an AMS to US thing. Doesn't matter which airline, as far as I can tell. I have not had the same level of questioning at ZRH, CPH, or LHR.
