You should try Ambrosite Next/Previous Post Link Plus. It gives you the option of displaying multiple next or previous links among a number of other great options.
customize urls displayed by previous_post_link and next_post_link

Next Post Link in format
previous_posts_link returns null when querying custom post type
From next_posts_link: Add the $max_pages parameter to the next_posts_link() function when querying the loop with WP_Query. To get the total amount of pages you can use the ‘max_num_pages’ property of the custom WP_Query object. next_posts_link( ‘Next →’, $connected->max_num_pages );
