If one looks at the available options near CDG and omits AMS - assuming everyone and their sister has changed routing from Spoke > CDG > USA to Spoke > AMS > USA - then FRA is the obvious choice as it is the only nearby city with daily service to 3 DL hubs (ATL, DTW, JFK). It is also excellently served with high-speed rail service direct to the airport (many times there is no need to change trains at Frankfurt Hbf).

BRU is a great second (as mentioned) and of course AMS is also good if there is still availability.
