To summarize:
Chase lounge is in C, between gates 23 and 24; open until 11pm.
C1 is in D, near gate 50, second floor; open until 11pm.
AMEX is in D, near gate D1 (turn left at top of escalator and follow signs); open until 11pm. (Used to be midnight).
I happen to be leaving at 11:59pm on AA (D gates) so will plan to start with Chase (or at least get on the wait list) at 8:59pm, then C1 / AMEX, then after 11pm The Club (second level near D33), which closes at 11:30pm.
The C1 lounge is actually closer to the escalators than the AMEX lounge due to the way the terminal is shaped with spokes. When you go up the escalators from the tram to D, turn right and you'll be pretty close to the C1 lounge. The AMEX lounge you turn left and walk a minute or two.
You can also see a blocked off area from the escalators (on the left) where they are currently building the AMEX Sidecar concept that opens sometime next year. You can look into getting into the virtual line for AMEX. Not sure if Chase or C1 have that option.
