Default CDG Arrivals

On Feb 24 I will be arriving at CDG on NW50 from DTW. I am meeting a friend
arriving from AMS on AF/KL. Will we be arriving at the same place at CDG?

Check you ticket to see which terminal of CDG you will be arriving at. Then have
you friend ticket check his/her ticket to see at which terminal he/she is
arriving. That should give you the answer

According to this website
http://paris-cdg.com/terminals.html

Northwest uses Terminal 1 but Air France uses Terminal 2. However, KLM also
uses Terminal 1. You need to clarify if your friend is on an Air France or
KLM flight.

On the flight from Detroit you will need to clear customs and immigration at
Paris. However, your friend, coming from Amsterdam is travelling within
what is known as "The Schengen Area" of Europe where immigration and customs
have been abolished. Therefore, even if you arrive in the same terminal
you will need to take this into consideration.

Once you know which terminal each of you will arrive at, go here

for plans of the terminal buildings so you can agree your meeting place.

Might depend on the passport the OP holds. With an EU/EA passport, it
doesn't take long at all at CDG, at least based on flying in there
before (and fairly recently) on transatlantic flights.

schengen luggage tags are green striped and pass free of the customs
inspections. International arrivals are red striped and must exit through
the customs. the part that you are thinking of is that one clears
immigration in the first schengen country but customs when they arrive at
their destination.

Not always . You can only through check luggage to a destination where
there's custom (no such things at many EU airports nowadays)
And, as I said, Schengen is about immigration only not custom.
As an example from Stockholm to Oslo you've to go through custom on arrival
but not immigration and luggage can't be through checked to domestic
airports in either direction.

True technically but the comment was correct in practice. What should
have been said was "However, your friend, coming from Amsterdam is
traveling within what is known as "The Schengen Area" of Europe where
immigration customs has been abolished and the European Union where
customs has been abolished." In any case the two controls are both
absent for most passengers from Amsterdam. Theoretically there could be
an excise tax check but except for the UK this is uncommon.

Shengen is about immigration, EU is about customs.

The best place for CDG arrivals to meet is called Paris.

My solution is never to set foot in another French airport, CDG least of
all.
