As I will travel from Amsterdam to Paris
I will get on the train at 11:53am from Amsterdam and will arrive in Lille Flandres at 15:52pm
then I need to switch to TGV7062 to Paris Nord at 16:00pm
the transfer time is only 8minutes, I think it don't have enough time for me to reserve the seat in the ticket offices at Lille

The question is: is there any ticket office in Amsterdam so that we can reserve the seat of TGV ?

There's an international ticket office at Amsterdam Centraal. Make sure you leave enough time to get things sorted out there.

Why would you take a train to Lille first? The Thalys from Amsterdam is a direct train to Paris. Tickets are from 39 euro and it takes 3 hours and 18 minutes,

#4 I was indeed wondering about that too. Going via Lille is a very inefficient way of travelling.

Just because I have the rail pass, I need to spend €35 to take thalys but only €5.5 to take TGV

www.raileurope.co.uk is surely a good way for me to reserve but I can't use the postage service since I'm not living in UK
I have tried to switch the website into my own country but I found that the price is different and it is up to about €10m I don't know why

You're welcome.

In that case you'll have to go to the international ticket counter at Amsterdam Centraal.

I have sent a email to ask TGV and they inform me that there is no Sncf point of sales on the whole netherlands ground.

But do you mean that I can just go to the international ticket counter at Amsterdam Centraal and reserve my seat?
thank you very much
