Part of the problem in AMS is the ATC habit of never giving full taxi instructions, they simply tell you to taxi RWY XX and expect you to know your way. Coming across the bridge at Q I still really don't know if I'm supposed to use A or B to W5 (for 36L) or coming from 18R across W5, which taxiway to use towards Q.
I just ask (and was told to do whatever I wanted) or use clockwise on A, counter clockwise on B. That is what is expected in the terminal area, but it is poorly indicated in the RWY 36C/18C area.

If they were coming south towards 36C, shouldn't they be on TWY B anyway?

This could only happen to KLM as all other airlines seem to be forced to use 36L...
