I have been granted 11 days of stay in the Schengen area. I have booked my flight on the 11th day, but I have long layover in Amsterdam. I will be crossing midnight during my layover causing it to be the 12th day during transit at the airport. Will this be an issue at the immigration?

PS I'm travelling from Iceland to India with a layover at Amsterdam. It's the KLM airlines (both the connections).

Added in an edit: Suggestions on what to do, without cancellation the flight and booking another (financial constraints).

Amsterdam airport has a large international transit area, even a hotel IIRC. There is no reason to linger on the departure / Schengen side, you can easily go through the passport check shortly after landing from Iceland and wait on the other side.

For readers with the same general problem, but no convenient airside stay:

If outside circumstances like a delayed flight "force" an overstay, contact the authorities before the visa expires. If the visa has not expired, it can be extended. (The traveler would still be expected to take reasonable steps to leave on time. This answer is most applicable when you are already in the Schengen area and the flight out gets canceled on short notice.)
