Skip leg and book a connection with the same airline [duplicate]

As part of a larger trip my last two flights are DFW-LHR and LHR-AMS. However, I would be a lot faster, if I skip the last leg and book an extra flight from London to my final destination.

My question: Can I run into problems, if the additional flight is with the same airline, which I have my original reservation with. If they checked, the would see, that I booked two different flights at almost the exact same time.

The original booking was an error fare, so trying to change it, is probably not the best idea either. Can anyone provide me with some ideas or recommendations?
