You are definitely correct in your assumptions. It is not important where A and C countries are located. It is enough that the immediate points before and after your Chinese destination are in different countries or eligible territories. So, your itinerary:
Düsseldorf - Beijing - Amsterdam
Is eligible for 144 hour visa free transit. Here I have to point out that, as far as I know, there is no direct flight from Düsseldorf to Beijing and I hope that you do not plan something like this:
Düsseldorf - Amsterdam - Beijing - Amsterdam
Because something like this would not be eligible for any type of visa free transit in China.
As far as the confirmed seat is concerned, this detail has become obsolete and is not required any more.
