Help required for return trip Brisbane to Amsterdam

[aussiecruisers]

Hi
I am taking my elderly mother to her birth place of Amsterdam for an approx 5week trip. I would like to find a reasonable priced trip with minimum hassels and minimum stops.

So far I have found on KLM the following on 11 Sept 2010 for AUD 2,453.72 per adult,
13:55 Brisbane
19:50 Singapore
25h30
Qantas
QF0051
00:25

Singapore
07:25 Amsterdam

KLM
KL0836

13:55 Brisbane (Brisbane Intl. Airport) - 19:50 Singapore (Changi)
Aircraft type: Airbus A330-300
Transfer time: 4h35
00:25 Singapore (Changi) - 07:25 Amsterdam (Schiphol)
Aircraft type: Boeing 777-300

13:55 Brisbane

KLM

javascript:;

Is this pretty good? Any other suggestions? Will we be in transit in Singapore? Will our bags have to be picked up and rechecked in?
