How easy is it booking these flights over the phone with BA? I’ve found a pretty good itinerary or two for my upcoming BKK trip in July, departing AMS. And it is telling me to ring BA to book (and potentially incur and extra charge I believe). But I have read a few posts of people encountering push back from the agents on the line.
Is this likely? And will they be able to find the prices that I am seeing? Do I need to start some cover story for why I am departing from AMS?

LHR to YVR in Oct through Jan from £1441 seems reasonable: https://goo.gl/flights/gEJx7
Edit: Sorry just seen this appears to be the going rate for west coast this year (Seattle, LAX, SAN etc).

You'll be fine, and in the event you're not simply HUACA.

Definitely requires a Saturday night, but I paid £1620 for my INV-LHR-ORD return in F through TravelUp and that's departing (and arriving) on a Saturday. So other options are definitely there.

This reminds me of when I called up BA Holidays to book a "TP Effiecient Trip" and the woman at the end of the phone literally said word for word
"Is this one of these Flyertalk tickets?" If it isn't it has it written all over it, Gold Card, Starting in Norway ending in Amsterdam I nearly fell off my chair
I have also booked a 16 sector LAX-PTY over the phone too so you wil be fine
