In order to get "Comfort+" (basically extra legroom) your DL portions must book into W class (which either helpfully or confusingly is the same class as AF Premium Economy). If you book via delta.com, you can easily get an itinerary this way, simply pick the "Premium Economy" fare (and verify that all segments are listed as W class). Note that DL will only sell AF W if the cheapest AF W fares are available (AF A class = DL W class for the TATL segment).
airfrance.us appears to sell the DL segments as "Premium Economy", but I can't tell if they actually book into DL W, or if it's just a quirk of airfrance.us and they actually book into regular economy (sorry, "main cabin"). AF asserts it can't assign seats on these segments, but you should be able to (via delta.com) after booking (not at 30 hours before check-in), and that would immediately tell you which cabin you're in. (Oh, sorry, there's only one cabin. Which "experience" you've booked.)
