The question

Should I say "Amen" after reciting Al-Fatihah silently while the Imam is reciting the Surah, knowing that saying "Amen" is commendable and listening attentively is obligatory? And does the prayer of one who says a commendable remembrance, such as the opening supplication or "Amen," invalidate while the Imam is reciting the Surah after Al-Fatihah?
