Unfortunately, Eurostar are not running trains to or from Ashford International throughout 2023. Instead, you’ll need to take a train from Ashford International to London St Pancras (the journey takes around 38 minutes), and from there, catch a Eurostar train to get from London to Amsterdam in about 4h 14m.
Once you get off at Amsterdam Centraal station, make sure you have your ticket handy, as you'll need to scan it at the NS ticket gates to exit. Amsterdam Centraal station is the perfect location to start exploring the city – landmarks such as the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House are only a few minutes away from the train station.

Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Ashford International to Amsterdam-Centraal by booking early.§
Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.
On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!
