AMS looks like a pretty good option--maybe I will try it rather than EWR.
I don't know this route or schedules. However, I usually set aside my likes and dislikes of airports in favor of the following two principles:
1. No tight connections. I'd rather have 3-4 hours to connect at JFK or LHR than 55 minutes at a cute small airport.
2. When possible, no change of airline. This is better for smoother baggage transfer.
I'd suggest putting aside your dislike of EWR and looking at all options objectively. Good luck.
