What day is the departure? In order to meet someone arriving from MSP in Amsterdam on Wednesday, that person would have to depart MSP on Tuesday. If the family is departing MSP on Wednesday, they'll arrive AMS Thursday.
In any event, at the moment EF shows J3-J9 for the three daily MSP-AMS flights on both Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning DL is happy to sell more J seats today for travelers on both those days. IDB highly highly unlikely.
