Now, when selecting my seat AMS-MRS, it is a Y-only cabin. how is this even possible?
On AF and KL, as is the norm for European airlines, there is only one type of seat. A movable curtain separates busines from economy; its location changes from flight to flight, as demand requires.
There is no separate, fixed-size business cabin with differentiated seating as on US carriers.

Is this normal practice for AF?
As you have a business ticket, you are restricted to choosing a seat in the front of the cabin, which is where all business class customers are seated. You cannot sit in an economy row, which at this time and for your flight means row 6 and back.
