Amsterdam to Lille (France) and return... Train ticketing

Please excuse another inane question...

I'm determined to pay respects to my grandfather and his two brothers that died during WW1, at their respective memorials in Northern France, so;

I'm intending to take the train from AMS on a Friday morning to Lille in France (via Brussels), returning to AMS the following afternoon.

I'm pretty sure I can squeeze in the essentials during an overnighter once I'm in a hire car at Lille.

I know the trains have suitable connections etc...

Does anyone see a drama with me being able to buy this return fare from AMS central 2 days beforehand? Can a multi carrier journey (eg. thalys & eurostar) be easily ticketed from AMS central on such short notice?

Thank you.

I don't think that would be a problem. I like to have a time table when I buy the tickets so I know what to expect. I've had good luck with DB's even though they are only Germany. They cover most of Europe.
