No.
Flying Blue is the frequent flyer programme of Air France. They show the estimated earnings that a Flying Blue member could expect. It does not mean that any Flying Blue miles/XPs will actually be earned (you have to have a Flying Blue account for starters; you have to give your Flying Blue number at some point in order to earn, for a follow up). It does not mean that a member of some other (Skyteam-affiliated) frequent flyer could not earn some other quantities of some other frequent flyer currency in their own chosen programme.

Do you have a Flying Blue account?
What you've written above makes no sense; your "Flying Blue profile" means a Flying Blue account with a Flying Blue number. Just use the PNR and your surname to look up an indivdual reservation;
you do not need to log in, or create any kind of profile to log in.
You do not need to have any kind of profile to look at/manage reservations on the AF and/or KL webpages.
You really should not log in, or have a Flying Blue account, if (as it seems) you consider/require Skymiles to be your only/primary Frequent Flyer Programme.
It's surprising how many people come here with similar queries, seemingly having created Flying Blue accounts for unclear reasons. If there is a Flying Blue number associated anywhere with any booking including AF and/or KL, the chances are that the miles will post to Flying Blue rather than to Skymiles....and once they're in Flying Blue, that's where they stay.
