I'm considering taking a 1-stop flight with a connection in MSP to get an extra day in AMS, versus taking the direct back in the morning to Chicago. This would involve the following:

Arrive INTL from AMS @ 6:35 pm
Depart DOMESTIC to ORD @ 8:00 pm

This is in January, so shouldn't be too crowded.

Do you guys think this would be difficult to make, or a stupid choice on my part to book? There is a later flight @ 9:00om or so from MSP to ORD if I missed the first, and this is a 1hr 25min connection, with min. allowed being 1hr 15min.
