I can almost guarantee you will miss your train in one hour. The train leaves from Munich main station (HBF). You will take a local train (almost like a metro) from the airport to the HBF. This train takes 40 minutes. Walking to the station at the airport and walking from the arrival beneath HBF to the track where your train leaves will take care of the other 20 minutes, so it will be almost impossible to get a train that leaves one hour after you arrive.
