Good point. They want to make sure that you will be leaving again while still legal to travel, to avoid accumulating unwanted permanent visitors.
I went to Amsterdam once without enough advance notice, and had to do it with only a month or so left on my passport - 90 days was the recommended minimum. I was prepared with all sorts to documentation to show that I would be out of there again in on a few days, but in the end no one cared... they barely glanced at my passport. Better prepared than stuck!
