First time in Europe - help getting to a few countries!

I was just trying to book two seat reservations from Berlin → Amsterdam on the morning of May 25.I’m able to add the seat reservations to my Eurail cart, but later in the checkout process I get the message “One of the legs of your journey is not available anymore. Please try searching for another connection.”The train is IC 146 … direct from Berlin Gesundbrunnen to Amsterdam.Am I doing something wrong? I am hoping for a direct train so the journey is as relaxing as possible.Help? :)

Thank you for the replies! Good call on being safe, I think I’ll book reservations even though it is not necessary. Better safe than sorry.I just booked Frankfurt Airport → Berlin HBF now, but was looking yesterday and there seemed to be quite a few direct trains from Berlin HBF → Amsterdam Central.But looking now, I’m not seeing ANY direct trains from Berlin HBF → Amsterdam Central on May 25, 2023 … even though I noted IC146 or IC144 in my notes yesterday. It seemed to have disappeared, unless I was looking at a completely different date by mistake 😅 Could it be that there are NO direct trains between these two locations on May 25, 2023?

Thanks for the above replies! I just reserved seats on Amsterdam → Paris, and Paris → London. Phew!For my other two trips (Frankfurt → Berlin, Berlin → Amsterdam), I am seeing “NO SEAT RESERVATION REQUIRED” and “You can buy a seat reservation if you like but it's not required.”Does it make sense to still reserve seats on these trains just to be safe, or is it not necessary?Is it better safe than sorry for a reservation, or am I just wasting money securing seats?
