I have come through Amsterdam to Switzerland from the USA several times.
I clear passport control (immigration) in Amsterdam, then have no passport check in Switzerland.
I believe you should have the same experience, but I don’t write the rules. Maybe Arno knows?

No, only a USA passport. A Schengen visa is not required for USA citizens, as far as i know.

Oh US Visa is a different case altogether. It enjoys a lot of privileges 🙂
I am looking for someone travelling to Zurich via another schengen state, who has a schengen visa issued by Swiss Embassy, to confirm if immigration in another state is permissible.
Thanks for the links!

I got the official reply from Swiss Embassy this morning:
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for writing Switzerland Visa Help Desk. We understand that you would like to know about the visa process. We would like to inform you that :-
1. You have to apply from Swiss Embassy as your maximum number of days are in Switzerland.
2. First port of entry does not need to be the same country from where you are applying for your visa
