I am a Gambian, traveling from Malaysia to Dakar, Senegal via Amsterdam and Istanbul. Do I need a transit visa for Amsterdam if the connection time is less than 24 hours?

No, you can probably transit without a visa.
A Timatic search using the Emirates site says:
Transit - Netherlands (NL)
Visa
Visa required.TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Holders of onward tickets transiting by the same or first connecting aircraft:
So unless your transit time exceeds 24 hours, you don't need a visa.
BTW, you didn't ask about Turkey, but you can transit there without visa if the transit time is less than 24 hours.
