Short layover in Schipol

[MissButterfly]

Many thanks to you all for your input/advice. I think I may have solved my problem though, and have found a ticket that will have me arrive at Schipol the night before. I'm going to check in to one of the airport hotels and that way I can be sure that I'll be ready and where I need to be for my flight to PDX the next day. I absolutely hate being in a rush, so I think doing it this way will be better for my sanity! I'm so excited to surprise my SO, that I'd be heartbroken if I missed the connecting flight. I can't wait to see his face when I turn up unexpectedly!

Yay, that's awesome! Schiphol is one of the top airports to spend time at, so there'll be lots of fun things to see and do. The hotels are also very nice, my mom and sister stayed there once. And if you have time to hop into the city (super close to the airport), I can really recommend it!
