Is 2 hours enough at AMS to catch at train?

Our flight arrives internationally into AMS at 08:38. The train I need to catch from the airport terminal leaves at 10:30. Is 2 hours enough time in these Covid times? My first time traveling since COVID from Canada to Germany via Amsterdam airport and train to Germany. Don't really want to buy the expensive ticket for the train in case I miss the time window. My luggage is checked.

Is 2 hours enough time in these Covid times?

That should be plenty and unless there is a major hiccup you will be fine. AMS is a reasonably efficient airport and most Covid checks are done at departure.

However, it's never guaranteed and it always comes down to a risk assessment for your specific situation.

Coming in from Canada is also good since it is a "nice" country
Immigration proceedings depend a lot on what your citizenship is.
Not checking luggage will also speed things up considerably

All in all, for most "normal" situation this looks fine and personally I would be comfortable with it (and book it that way).
