Was hoping for some real-world experience here.
Real life experience: by buying separate tickets you are excluding yourself from the right to have your bags interlined.
No longer possible to check bags through on two separate PNRs from AMS?
KLM to KLM Interline baggage - 2 separate tickets
Checking bag on separate tickets
Real life advice: either book all travel on one ticket, or allow sufficient time between tickets to cope with any and all possible eventualities - late flights; delayed luggage; missing luggage; immigration/security delays.
If you have to collect your bag at AMS, go landside, and check it in again, if you miss the check-in cutoff of that second ticket for whatever reason, you will likely lose all value of the ticket
