FF Skyteam award connection AMS 1hr5min - enough time?

I'm looking at an FF ticket that would connect in AMS (NWA - MSP-AMS) with only 1hr5min (KLM - AMS-NCE) connection time. Is that enough time? I've been to AMS and remember having to run a long way to make a connection (also NWA and KLM but several years ago). Will the NWA flight from the states be close to the KLM gates?

Hi kybourbon, when I have been at AMS it was always on KLM's flights so I am not sure about NWA to KLM gates but here is the website for AMS that I hope will be of help.

It will be a bit tight, but this should be enough time. I would book it.

I should add that it may be a decent walk, but that is AMS for you. If you have mobility issues I would maybe think twice but it shouldn't require more than a brisk walk.

I don't have mobility issues, but didn't enjoy my run through AMS last time, but it was on my return flight (not on an ff ticket) and I wouldn't have minded being stuck in Amsterdam an extra night.
