I think that the only intuition behind the test statistics of those tests would be related to the p value (significant or not) - the conclusions to be drawn depend on the research question. However, if you see how such test statistics are calculated you can try to get some additional intuition: e.g., if you compare two cumulative density functions you can determine the intervals, namely values, for which the CDFs are similar and intervals, for which the CDFs diverge - this gives you additional inference, e.g. ifyou can see for which intervals the test statistic is not significant for complete samples but on some intervals it may still be significantreaches its maximum (and therefore the CDFs diverge).
