I think you could just copy the zonefile

# md5 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime
MD5 (/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin) = 4790e83465681cefbf852aed265354bf
MD5 (/etc/localtime) = 4790e83465681cefbf852aed265354bf


thus

cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam /etc/localtime
echo "Europe/Amsterdam" > /var/db/zoneinfo
