Edit: Also, I see this on the Priority Pass page:
-Lounge 26, Terminal 1, lounge is not accessible to passengers departing from Gate M. Schengen flights only.
-Lounge 41, Terminal 2, located on the Panorama Deck on the 3rd Floor. The lounge is not accessible to passengers departing from Gate M. Non-Schengen flights only.
Does this mean we would only be able to access Lounge 26, since we're flying Amsterdam to France?
Whatever gets you in. I'd just show my AMEX Plat card, but I have the PP as a backup. You won't have issues due to connecting from a US-inbound flight. The only possible reason they might not let you in is capacity issues. It seems the Aspire (26) is your best bet as you're departing on a Schengen flight. I've never been to that lounge, but my experience with Aspire lounges is that they're so-so. But hey, it's a lounge with some free food, drink and wifi.
