Smile DUS- LH flight to DB train connection question

Hi,
I wanted to save a few hundred dollars so I shall be flying into DUS from ORD (I am Canadian). The direct flights from toronto were about 400+ dollars canadian more then this specific flight. Anywho, this flight arrives at 0730 am . I have a train trip to zurich that departs Dusseldorf Hbf at 9:23 (i figure that ill need to catch S-bahn or RE train from the airport around 840-900). I have heard that alot of flights get delayed out of ORD. What do you think of this short connecting time? I have gotten used to flying on time 100% everytime I fly out of YYZ on LH, and after reading about ORD I was assuming that this flight might be delayed up to 30min-60min at the latest when I booked the train tickets. Taking this into consideration, would I have enough time to clear customs, hop on RE or S bahn to Dusseldorf hbf for my train? My tickets are train specific so if i miss it I will basically have to buy a new ticket.

Would greatly appreciate any advice/people's experiences in this type of situation

Thank you,

Jan
