I'm having no luck with the search results on UA.com if I search for VPS-AMS round trip.
I also tried using the multi-city tool, but no luck.
I used Google Flights multi-city to price it out and then clicked Book on UA. I found it helps to find a generic roundtrip on dates that work but then use multi-city to do the "funny business" of strange routings and long layovers. Here's what I ended up with on my second booking.
July 19 VPS-(UA Y)-IAH-(UA F)-ORD-(LH J)-FRA
July 21 FRA-AMS (LH J)
July 23 AMS-FRA (LH J)
July 24 FRA-(LH J)-IAH-(UA Y)-VPS
Found by search for the following in Google Flights:
VPS-ORD July 19
ORD-FRA July 19
FRA-AMS July 21
AMS-FRA July 23
FRA-VPS July 24
I hope this helps. One thing to note is that sometimes the price while you're picking flights will be higher than it ends up being. For example, I knew from an ITA Matrix search that I should be able to get the 4:05pm ORD-FRA flight for the cheaper price even though Google Flights showed it as $3400 or so. I just picked it and it worked at the end. Good luck.
