Don't select the equation then :).

If your cursor is in the equation, then Insert->Math->AMS Align converts
your equation type. Better is to use Edit->Math->Change Formula
Type->etc.

Change display equation to ams align

If I typed in an equation as display, and then decide I'd like to turn it to 
ams align (multiline), how can I do this without loosing everything I 
already typed?

Selecting the equation, then insert/math/ams align is exactly the way to 
destroy your work.
