Is 1.5hr layover in Amsterdam Schiphol sufficient for intra-Schengen flights?

This is sufficient for a safe transfer when flights on schedule. Assuming you land on time, even up to 20-30 mins late, you are expected to be able to do the transfer without rushing.

Luggage transfers at that airport is not a problem and checked baggage connects faster than people usually in most such major airports. So, feel free to use your checked luggage allowance.

Should your incoming flight be delayed such that you will not make the connection. The connecting flight will not wait and will be missed. You would normally be rescheduled on a later flight, assuming the trip was booked on a single ticket. They cannot delay flights for a small number of people as this will potentially delay people already on board that have later connecting flights.

Flying in Europe during the pandemic is more efficient than usual. Time at check-in was longer per-person as you get asked plenty of health related questions but overall, traffic is so much lower that total time going through the airport was much shorter than usual. Only 1 of 4 flights I took during the pandemic was packed which made boarding similar to pre-pandemic times but everything else was quicker.
