What is everyone's experience with this gambit?
The price difference is because they are different city pairs. [Insert US airport] to AMS is priced different than [insert US airport to BRU (via AMS).

As mentioned, skipping segments will cancel all your downstream (remaining) flights.

If you are making a habit of hidden city ticketing, don't be surprised when airlines confiscate your account and bill you for the would be price.
