1730 dep - 0650 Arr - Toronto - Amsterdam (KLM)
0800 dep - 0810 ARR - Amsterdam to Birmingham, UK (KLM)

Both flights are on the same ticket and with the same airline

Questions:
1. Is 1hr 10mins to get on the connecting flight enough time?
2. Do i have to go to a different terminal to board the next flight and if so how would I know this?
3. If I miss the flight, will KLM put me on the next flight and will my checked baggange come with me or will it already be in Birmingham?

Thanks for your help
1. Yes
2. Not sure, but simply check the flight board when you land. It will show the terminal and gate number for your Amsterdam to Birmingham flight.
3. Yes, assuming the delay is their fault. If you miss the flight because you're buying the Mrs a gift in duty free or squeezing in a last pint, then no they wont.

My advice is relax and enjoy it. Plenty of KLM attendants in Schiphol if you need any info when you land.
