It may to some, but 'bathroom amenities' doesn't sound natural to me. 'Toiletries' is the term I'm familiar with.

I would use "replacement" as a modifier, omitting "of". "toiletries" is fine. I would not change it. "bathroom amenities" sounds strangely made-up. I would wonder exactly what it meant.
