I also managed to also book Meet & Assist through Schipol thankfully!
The big problem at AMS at the moment seems to be departures, especially security.
Arrivals last week was OK, queue for immigration not a problem (neither EU nor non-EU passports). I was there early, traveling F. Don't know about arriving baggage as I was HBO. Usually wait for baggage at AMS is not good!

I left on a BA flight to LGW a few days later, wait for security plus passport control was 50 minutes, which was quite a bit better than I feared.
Transit in AMS should be OK, as you don't pass through security, just immigration when transferring between Schengen and non- Schengen flights.

But yes, meet and assist certainly takes some of the stress out!
