I will never understand how they can keep giving such stupid answers in those circumstances. You are not going to AMS final destination and trying to take an earlier flight for free, but you are connecting in AMS and just trying to increase your chance to make the connection and avoid unnecessary expenses for the airline in case of misconnection. What does it cost them to give you an empty seat in the previous flight ? This goes really beyond logic.
