My wife and I just exited the EU via Amsterdam. The lines to register our exit via the EES were long. We chose the "rapid line", since we had less than an hour to catch our next flight. The "rapid line" was not rapid at all. Luckily, an airport employee was asking those with less than 30 minutes to catch their flight to go into a different line, which we did. We were promptly processed, however we made it to our gate with 15 minutes to spare. Please be aware. I suggest looking at your EU entering and exiting airport websites to see if EES entry and exit processing times are long and what suggestions they might have for tight connections. FYI, Frankfurt was also chaos, with the processing taking 3 hours.

Family just entered through AMS coming from the US, and were connecting onto another EU country. He said the signs they encountered were a little confusing in directing people to connecting flights vs it being a final destination? They said their entry time didn't take very long at all.
