Their votes on amendments are not legally binding!!!
Only Theresa May can revoke Article 50, she cannot be forced to do so by any amendment vote in parliament. The Government is the Executive and it can only put forth Primary Legislation. Any private members Bill that attempts to change Statutes, the Government still has one last Nuclear option, as it is the Executive, it can advise the Queen to veto any Bill and it will not receive Royal Assent, no assent, means it won't pass in to law.

Of course, the queen could decide she's had enough and give TM the finger at the same time as giving a private members bill Royal Assent. Apparently it last happened in 1708 so it's as good (modern!!) a precedent as the speaker stopping MV3.
