Rail Passes in France
I am leaving to France from Amman, Jordan on 26.October.2012 (in 4 days!), the trip was planned quickly and don't have time to purchase the Rail Pass online (it will take 8 days to get to Jordan). I am searching everywhere for a place to buy the rail pass from Paris however with no avail. (I planed to visit Brussels and Amsterdam so I am looking for the Benelux - France Pass)
I would highly appreciate it if you can provide me with suggestions!

According to eurail.com, certain railpasses can be bought at major train stations in Europe. However, the Benelux-France pass is NOT one of them.
Don't let that worry you. At this late date you probably won't be able to get the lowest online discount fares for point-to-point tickets, but you'll still pay a lot less than you would for a railpass plus seat reservation fees.
Book separate tickets for Paris-Brussels and Brussels-Amsterdam at thalys.com and print your own tickets. The lowest discount fare for Paris-Brussels is €29.00. The lowest discount fare for Brussels-Amsterdam also is €29.00.
Discount fare tickets are for a specific departure date and time. They are non-exchangeable and non-refundable so be sure you can commit before booking.
