Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't I still have to wait until the end of my next billing cycle to see these additional points? My current cycle just started. I would have enough points just with my normal monthly expenditure by next month anyways.

Let me ask in a slightly different way. How likely is it that these awards will no longer be available in a month? Keep in mind my travel date is March 2018. The routes I'm looking at:

KLM: CPH -> AMS -> IAH
Air France: CPH -> CDG -> IAH
