Travelling in the Schengen Zone

My port of entry will be Spain after which I will travel to Amsterdam via KLM, Brussels by train, Paris by train and Rome via Alitalia.

My question if the check-in staff, in KLM and Alitalia counters, would ask me for a return ticket in the same way airlines ask when we commence an international trip as they should follow TIMATIC database, however, I am not sure about that for travelling in the Schengen Zone.

Thank you.

I think you are overthinking. You are doing a very common type of travel.

You need a ticket which bring you outside Schengen. It is not important from where. Is is very common to arrive on a airport and depart to an other, either for business and for travel. (medium and long travels. Daily travels inside Schengen, or to/from e.g. UK or nearby countries are different).

In any case the officers could ask you for your travel plan (you do no need all documents, but having solid ideas), so it makes plausible you depart from an other airport.
