You can call SNCF. They should be able to help.

https://www.sncf.com/en/customer-service/contact-us/telephone

 Press #85 for English, no booking fees, reservations are sent via e-mail. Not all credit cards are accepted.

 

For a train departing Amsterdan you should  also be able to call NS. Also no booking fees and they do accept VISA. Remember the country code (+31)

If you book a train via SNCF-connect, you can usually choose a seat where you want to sit close/next to. Although this isn’t always possible, due to high occupancy. But usually you sit in the same carriage.

You can't book online with SNCF if you have a Eurail or an Interrail pass.

No, but the person not travelling via Interrail/Eurail can choose a seat close by via this way. That could save a phone call and extra costs ;)
