Do I go thru customs in EU
I’m a US citizen traveling from Spain to US with a layover in Amsterdam. The layover is only 1.5 hrs. Will I need to go thru customs and immigration in Amsterdam or not until I return to US?

Welcome to Fodors. Just the same as in the States, there is no 'Customs' when departing from Europe.
There will be security and a passport check at which ever airport in Spain. Then at AMS you will go through security and possibly a document check at the gate.
Arriving in the US you will go through both Immigration and Customs
