More on Getting from AMS to Bolzano

We are putting the final touches on a trip that starts in Amsterdam in July and ends with a tour in the Dolomites. We need to get from AMS to Bolzano on a Saturday. I've posted on this earlier but now I've looked into it some more. Wondering if this sounds like the most efficient way to do it:
I'm thinking we will fly from AMS to LIN (Milan). It looks like the train station, Milano Centrale, isn't too far from the airport so will Uber or Taxi from LIN to the train station. Then take a train from Milano Centrale through Verona to Bolzano. Looks like that is the only way to do it - you have to change trains in Verona. Once we get into Bolzano, taxi to our hotel (Four Points by Sheraton)? If anyone has done this or has other suggestions, I'm all ears!

I've looked into all kinds of other way to get there, like going through Munich or Innsbruck but seems more cumbersome. No good flights from AMS to BZO or Verona. Also, could fly into Venice, but then we still have to take a train through Verona.

How about flying from AMS direct to Bologna, then getting the train to Bolzano,. About three hours, depending on whether it's direct or one change.

Linate, Bergamo, Verona, Venice, Bologna, are the closest airports to Bolzano on the Italian side. All trains to Bolzano go through Verona, there is no way around that. I think only those coming from the south of Verona (Bologna) might require no change in Verona, although they all stop there.

Thanks - I'll look into Bologna. I just figure the less we have to change trains, the better. Also, need do-able flights from AMS so will look. I hadn't thought about Bologna!
