After reading all three books and based of his actions and words I can say with absolute certainty that Amaram while having good intentions is still a piece of crap. As Kaladin said he could have asked him for them. The argument that no one would believe that he gave them away is bs as kaladin is well known in the army as being fairly strange and lucky. Later Amaram lies blatantly to Dalinar and gets caught out, he is heavily implied to have assaulted Jasnah, and to top it off no spren will choose him Kaladin was chosen by Syl because he is honorable whereas Amaram is far from it. The saying the path to hell is paved with good intentions definitely applies to Amaram. No matter his intentions his actions show that he is far more concerned with appearances than actually living up to his reputation. Dalinar is honorable and doesn't give a damnation if he looks crazy or foolish for sticking to it, Amaram is all about LOOKING honorable and will refuse anything that could ruin his reputation by showing his dishonor.
