The UK requires a transit visa for passport stamp but no plastic card. I would assume the same would apply for the Netherlands. Call the Dutch embassy/consulate to clarify.

Netherlands also require transit visa if you don't have the plastic card. I called the Dutch embassy recently. I would avoid europe as transit if possible.

Unless ofcourse you want to go through the trouble of getting the transit visa.

Are you sure about requiring transit visa from amsterdam, if you just have the I551 stamp ??

From the netherlands embassy website, it looks like you don`t need one if you are an indian national.

I don't think, you require transit visa from London or any european countries having passport stamped.

I travelled through London in the month of Jan/Feb'04 and they did security check and did not ask for Transit Visa. I read on britainusa.com that, if we have valid US return ticket, we don't need transit visa. While return, in Germany, a security officer asked me about green card stamp and no questions asked (since I didn't have physical green card).
