VE Holiday weekend Paris
We are debating dates for our first trip to Paris in 2020. Early May works best for us, possibly arriving May 5. However, I know that May 8 is a national holiday (Victory in Europe Day) and since that date falls on a Friday (in 2020) it will be a long holiday weekend throughout Europe. I know Paris is always crowded but should we anticipate significantly greater crowds if we are there VE weekend?

It isn't a long holiday weekend throughout Europe. Not everyone has that day off - each country has it's own liberation dat which may or may not be a public holiday.
I doubt it will be any more crowded than normal for that weekend, despite the 75th anniversary.
