Update to my post from the 4th - my cc has now been charged for both tickets, bought separately on the 3rd. Posting date to the cc company was Sept 5, so NW has now issued my e-tickets and charged my card. My trips are a bit more than 90 days out so I can't get seats yet.
And I don't intend to call them about it. I'll wait till I can get seats on the website. Otherwise flying low to the ground.

The NWA agent I spoke with to select seats didn't say anything other than "Have a good night." Needless to say, I didn't bring up the subject of fares.
Fingers crossed... and Travelocity Guarantee bookmarked

SFO-AMS FlyerTalk reunions...
I got 10B bulkhead seats for a few flights...
but today when I called for my last flight row 10 was completely full.
Also, 10 and 24 were completely full on another flight.
Are enough of us booking these SFO-AMS-XXX flights and grabbing the bulkhead MD-11 (or 767) seats that we can have a mini-FlyerTalk gathering?

Well, I'm not in a bulkhead as I'm flying with a companion... but if anyone's flying NW8606/KL606 SFO-AMS on Nov. 16 or NW8605/KL605 AMS-SFO on Nov. 22, by all means say hello!

In the spirit of not drawing attention to yourself, it is probably best if you do the seat assignments yourself at NW's website. You just need your last name and the NW reservation number and you can view your itinerary online, add FF numbers, add seats, etc. Not to mention that you can see seat maps yourself and pick your own seat rather than depending on the phone agent to tell you what is available.

In the past, as a NW elite, I've been able to reserve KL elite seating by providing my WP number and sending an e-mail to [email protected] - just a way to secure seating in advance if you feel you need to. I don't believe you can get seat map info for KL flights on NWA.com. Not sure if you can use your KL PNR on KLM's site to assign your own seats though...

Yes, you can reserve the KL seats by calling NWA on the outbound and inbound US international legs only. The NWAgent couldn't assign seats for me on the AMS-MUC-AMS flights. It's not possible to view KL seatmaps and select KL seats on the NWA site. Believe me, I tried.
As for the KL site, I never thought of that... checking now.
Edit: The KL site won't let you do seat assignments more than seven days out from the flight.

Most European airlines do not allow advance seat assignments for intra-European flights until check in unless you are booked in business class or in a very high economy fare class.

How to change your seats on a KLM flight...
1) View your reservation in nwa.com and add your elite number. It sometimes takes a few hours for KLM to see your elite status to openn up elite seating.
2) Call NW 800-255-2525 (or elite number). If you get a NW rep who can't get the elite seats, ask them to use "Corda" - the KLM reservation system.
3) nwa.com won't allow seat changes on KLM. In fact, seats assigned by Corda will show as "seat unassigned" in the nwa.com system.
4) Intra-Europe flights are booked at the gate, but you can check-in online at KLM and pick your seats. 737 maps aren't on seatmap.com, but they are on KLM's website.

AMEX Charged / Ticket Numbers Issued
Since my card has now been charged in addition to having ticket numbers assigned I will hope that NW will actually honor those who booked early enough to get this ticketed.
