Is it a Normal Operation?
Normal Operation
Any operation other than an Ultra Long Range operation.
NO

Ultra Long Range Operation
An operation by a Two Crew Aircraft requiring three or more pilots involving a time difference of six hours or more between the places where the Duty Period starts and finishes.
So, because of the 7 Hr time zone difference between Chicago & Amsterdam, it is by definition, an ULR operation, which REQUIRES 3 operating crew and Section 16 "Ultra Long Range Operations" applies (and therefore Section 15 "Normal Operations" FDP limits do not).
