All is not lost. You are in the reserve list, so if someone can't make it you may be called. There was a girl there at the same time as me (hello Ksenia!) who was in this position.
PS there is no scenery to enjoy between AMS and Maastricht railway station. The nice bit is out of the window of the bus just after you get out of Maastricht. A few nice northern-French style chateaux on the right, and, believe it or not, a hill or two. However geological factors soon put a stop to this and it becomes flat and boring once again.
