Strangely I came through Schipol myself only yesterday, managing a quick trip into town oon the train during the stopover, and noticed exactly the same thing, likewise at the main Amsterdam rail station where trains to there do not have it as a final destination, just as an intermediate point of Schipol buried in the list of stops. It's the opposite of Zurich, where Kloten station is not on the airport line but in the adjacent town, trains go to either Kloten or Flughafen, but not both.
