If I am right both including Ireland are Schengen -> non Schengen and you will have to pass immigration airside. As Fabo said most of the problems are with security landside -> airside. So this also should work. I have seen long lines at times there but don't think this would have been > 1 hour. If for some reason there is this incredible queue even for immigration, gently asking if you can pass here and there due to your connection hopefully will work.

This of course assuming flights are not delayed, but that is a regular risk. And KLM has duty of care so that implies rebooking and so on.
