Have you considered that United and KLM fly nonstop from IAD-AMS?
Have a great trip!
My understanding of the OP's first post is that the nonstops are significantly more expensive than the one-stops through Dublin or Toronto, hence the desire to fly the one-stops in the first place, so it seems that they did consider the nonstops and rejected them as too costly.
