1 hour connection in DTW on to AMS, NBO???

I'm flying on the following itinerary on Sat, May 10:

PHL-DTW
DTW-AMS
AMS-NBO

on a business class award.

My question is this: should I take the later PHL-DTW flight which arrives in DTW with one hour to spare to connect to my flight to AMS, or should I take the earlier PHL-DTW flight which gives me a 4 hour layover?

I suspect that one hour is not enough to connect onward to AMS and NBO. I will have check-in luggage.

However I have never flown KLM or NW, nor have I been to DTW so I don't really know for sure.

As an aside, am I entitled to any lounge access in DTW and AMS? If so which is the best lounge to visit? I have no status on CO/NW/KLM but as mentioned, am flying on business class award.

Thanks!!
