You have to walk (no bus from 2D) and transfer takes max 15 minutes w/o queues at security-recheck in 2F. If you have status or flying biz, you can use fasttrack which usually has no queues.
for CDG, its simply not enough time. say for instance the plane parks at a remote stand, that will eat up about an extra 10 to 20 minutes. Even if the plane were to pull into a gate, by the time the OP steps off the plane, best case scenario has him/her running at full tilt and just making it as the forward boarding door is closed.
