May I suggest that you consider travelling through another transfer point than AMS?
AMS is one terminal.
AMS is one level.
AMS has the world's clearest signage.
AMS signs show you walking distance (in time, for average legs)
AMS has immigration (and ex-) controls where required by law.
AMS has, for those cases, special lanes for people who can show that they believe they have a tight connection.
AMS has cleaning teams trained in mopping up the mess of pax whose knickers get in a twist or moisture incident. despite these above measures.
AMS has a very clear limit to pax volumes and flights (I live nearby, and I am a co-funder of the whole shebangle).
AMS will become increasingly discerning in who transits here.
YOU might find that we have decreasing patience with all these queries.
YOU may be much happier elsewhere.
I love Schipol... but "world's clearest signage" is not something I could agree with.

Does anybody know why the lounges are numbered? Lounge 26? Lounge 52? That is confusing for starters.

And despite having passed through Schipol countless times, I managed to recently get lost and had be escorted through a back-end security maze to get to my connecting flight. The immigration officer admitted the signage had been changed recently and many passengers are getting lost...
