The two items you see in the selection list are alternate names for the same station. Try asking for the schedule for trips from Amsterdam Airport to Schiphol Airport and you’ll see what I mean. The site is unable to provide them.
Alternately, compare the schedules for trips between one airport and another station to those for trips between the other airport and the same station. You will see that they are identical.
The airport is listed twice so people who don’t know the name “Schiphol” will also be able to find it.
AMS is Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. It’s called Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Search engines usually let you search either by the airport name directly, or by the city.
The airport name is sometimes given as one, sometimes as the other, most of the time as a combination.
Rail planners make this a mess more often than air search sites, as those mostly give the three letters AMS, with the name.
This is to make things easier for people when searching, since some airport names are quite complicated, for example “Bandaranaike International Airport” in Colombo, Sri Lanka. People can search by that, or by “Colombo”. Note, when searching by the city name, and if the city has more than one airport, the search engine will list all flights available for any of the airports in that city.
