You can check in and check bags at the train station.
It's an hour and 26 minutes, not just 26 minutes, but even that seems a tight. It does seem odd that they'd have a connection time that most people miss, but there are many odd things in the world.
One virtue is that they'll book you on the next available AF/DL/KLM flight if you miss your flight.
