Do as irishguy suggested , unless you are ready to accept the risk that your trip might be screwed up by the mess

If it was in "normal times" , yes you could do as you want but now its hell and no signs of improvements so far

Beware that schiphol reduced traffic in amsterdam , and therefore KL is cancelling a lot of flights for summer season (until october at least) , so your ideal 3h layover might become a 10h or overnight layover, and you will need to go airside

If the main goal is to go to ATH , then buy a direct flight (or anything to avoid transfers in europe) in Y or J with cash
