Can I recover anything from a non-refundable ticket?

It is likely that only the airport and government taxes are refundable on this fare. I can’t actually find an O fare to see the fare rules that might be applicable, but the nearest I can find is an S fare. Since you’re transiting through London and they have high passenger service charges you might get up to about 100 Euro back.

An alternative would be to change the flight. Again, since I can’t find an O fare I can’t be certain of the rules, but an S fare from AMS charges 180 Euro to change, plus the fare difference. Since it looks like you got the cheapest fare imaginable, the fare difference could be substantial though.

AA does allow you to cancel a fare and store the remainder after the change fee for some types of fare, typically US originating.

A non-refundable ticket is just that, non-refundable.

That means you get no money back if you cancel the flight, ONLY if the airline cancels the flight (and then not always, depending on the reasons for cancelation as set down in the contract of carriage and applicable law).

The latest cancelation date is likely a generic statement that’s there for all tickets, including refundable ones (which are refundable only before a set interval prior to the flight’s departure).

The Dutch version of the ticket would tell you the same thing, with possibly a clause about EU regulations regarding passenger rights on flights departing the EU (which also don’t count for you, as they only apply to delays and cancelations by the airline).
