Thanks to all who answered with the encouraging comments!
You will go through immigration at AMS, but not customs (that is done after baggage claim). The poster above got it right -- you will have to go from the G pier to the B pier. The walk is not all that bad, but be sure not to lally-dag around in the great "see, buy, fly" shops in the main concourse.
You won't have to do anything at CDG unless there is a gate change and you have to change terminals. Same terminal and you're okay.
