The member state of first entry is the state through whose external borders you first enter the Schengen Area.
With the itinerary you describe, your first entry -- indeed your only entry into the Schengen Area -- will be the Netherlands. You will pass through immigration controls in Amsterdam, and your flight from Amsterdam to Paris is a Schengen-internal flight with no immigration control (save for whatever checks the French choose to do right now due to their ongoing state-of-emergency -- but that still doesn't count as an entry into the Schengen area).
