Use DL's flight status and services like flightaware.com to check whether these flights use the same gate.

I would be shocked if continuing passengers aren't forced to deplane and re-do the security check to re-enter the gate holding pen. Once AMS switches to central security for nonschengen flights, it could be much harder to necessarily catch the flight when it's the same aircraft.

Also, AFAIK all continuing passengers deplane with all belongings and the plane is searched before an international segment. Given this, a ten minute turnaround doesn't seem possible unless DL is counting on the TATL flight arriving very early most days.
