remove .php extension using htaccess from a specific url

I wrote some rules in .htaccess file which are working fine, the rules which I wrote are : 

# browser requests PHP
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\s/+(\S+?)\.php(/\S*)?\sHTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1%2 [L,R=301,NE]

# check to see if the request is for a PHP file:
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^/?(.+?)(/.*)?$ /$1.php$2 [L]

Problem: only problem I have with them is that it is removing .php extension from each url as a result my Ajax request are continuously getting 404.

For e.g. : on a botton an Ajax call is made to url like Ajax/x.php but because of above rule it converted into Ajax/x and return 404.

So now instead of removing .php extension from all files I want to remove .php extension specifically from 2 files i.e a.php and b.php.

Need little help with the community, i know I'm almost there.Any help will be appreciated

First of all, when you remove the php extension from any url, you have to submit the form by changing removing the .php extension from the action such as
<form class="form-horizontal" method="post" action="new_team" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Same thing also will apply to the ajax file such as
 $.ajax({
            url: 'php/contact_form_submit',
            type: 'post'

.htaccess should look like this
Options +MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)index\.php($|\ |\?)
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L]

# Unless directory, remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ http://url/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ http://url/$1 [R=301,L]

# Redirect external .php requests to extensionless url
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(.+)\.php([#?][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
# RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ http://url/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ http://url/$1 [R=301,L]

# Resolve .php file for extensionless php urls
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ $1.php [L]

so try it out and let me know if it solved

To remove .php extension from 2 specific files, you can use this :

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /(a|b)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [L,R]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ /$1.php [L]
