Oh. And the Boeing QRH says that the crew should land at the nearest suitable airfield. If you are over AMS, then AMS is likely to fulfill that requirement.
I think it's about time that the wording was changed from "nearest" to "reachable in the shortest time". From FL330 anywhere within 100nm which was suitable would be OK.
