What should I write in the "Member State of first entry" field on a Schengen visa application form?

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).
