Also at CDG for the moment there's a significant chance of being bussed as there's no enough capacity at the gates at AMS you're only likely to be bussed on KLM Cityhopper (regional jets and props - if your aircraft is a Fokker it's cityhopper) and a few other regional jet services. You'd be very unlucky not to get a stand on a 737 or bigger.
All valid points, but they don't address the issue of luck (or improving unluckiness). OP could do all those things and still be unlucky.
