I connect on average 20 times a year in AMS and the last time flying from GVA through Schiphol with a 1 hr connection to SFO (KLM) my bags were lost for 12 whole days..( I HATE transiting through CDG and will try to avoid this at all costs.)
Apparently the bags cannot make the connection at Schiphol within the hour. Perhaps there are special baggage security measures in place for flights to the US ?
Depending on the origin of flight, connecting bags go through security again.
