If I can, what would be better DL or AA . I want to spend 100K and ihave 350k in each program .
What would be better is the one who has avaiability, if you aready have the miles with both!
Also, does Delta now allow you to book one-way flights? AA does. So if Delta does too, you could book AA one way and Delta the other way. Thus it's not even necessarily an either/or.
However, AA does not partner with any European airlines that are based at CDG, ATH, AMS, etc. So with AA you'd have to connect through somewhere, Delta's partnership with Air France can get you to/from CDG, and KLM to/from AMS.
Having said all that, no, you cannot add
back-and-forth intra-Europe flights on the same 100k award (or two 50Ks if one way) that you use to get from JFK to Europe and back. You either need to book extra trips running around Europe in the middle of your visit separately.
AA will not let you add stopovers in Europe at all (beyond 24 hours), only at your North American gateway (which does you no good if you're flying east from JFK, of course!). Dunno about Delta, but I doubt they let you do more than one, if any at all.
