Correct; as all Thalys tickets departing AMS have to be picked up from the NS ticket desk at Schiphol, and will therefore be issued only for the next departing train.
The comment you replied to, though, specifically limited this to tickets departing Brussels (or Antwerp) - so, in the OPPOSITE direction.
