You might only have 30 seconds per painting at the Rijksmuseum vs the more leisurely 90 seconds. 
Seriously, 1:55 connections at AMS are easy especially when staying in the non-Schengen area.
I am booking a trip to Istanbul later this year and my options are a 50 minute AMS connection or a 1:20 CDG connection. AMS wins with ease.

Well, you can miss a 3 hour connection if your arriving flight is 5 hours late.
Not sure I would necessarily count something as a "bad connection" if the inbound is running late. Now, if that same inbound is late on a daily basis; perhaps.
and, I agree non-Schengen to non-Schengen connections @AMS are particularly easy. Worst case walk would be D gates to G gates. But, most likely, you'll be departing/arriving from D, E or F gates.
Quite frankly, the walk to (KLM) lounge 52 is often longer than the walk from arriving to departing (non-Schengen) gates.
