Is there a train station at the Schiphol Airport or do you just take a train to Central from the airport? We are arriving in Amsterdam at 10:15 am and I have train tickets to Paris from Central Station at 13:15. Is that enough time to get to through customs and get to Central station or should I change the tickets?

Yes, Thalys train 9352. Are you saying I can just board at the airport or do I need to change my ticket? Thank you.

Yes you can. Your ticket is for a particular car - use the information on the platform to know where to stand.

Schiphol station is an exception in that it does not have gates blocking access to any of the train platforms. There are merely check-in/check-out readers (applicable to domestic journeys). For Thalys at Schiphol station, find out the platform number on the board then just go down the applicable escalator. Each car area is marked (as I recall) so you can be in the right place before the train arrives. Your ticket will be scanned by train personnel after you sit down and the train has departed.
