My husband and I have planned a visit to Paris,Amsterdam and Bruges(First time travellers). Our trip starts on 29th May(Tuesday) and ends on 6th June(Wednesday).
It would be great for us to know to plan our visit to Paris during week days or weekends.
Also we would like to know about the tricks to beat the crowd to go to the museums.
Thanks in Advance!!!!!!!!!

Beating the crowds is already a crapshoot now that the tourist season is beginning..

If you are planning on visiting museums in Paris, you only need to pay attention to which ones are closed on Monday and which ones are closed on Tuesday. Weekends are not a problem.

Whether to visit on weekend or not depends on what you are doing, which is not stated. Some museums are more impacted by crowds than others. Some places like Versailles have special events only on certain days of the week - you either hit those days or avoid those days. Bruges accommodations are more expensive on weekends, if that matters.
Are you really arriving in two weeks? If so, are you asking question on when to visit Paris, so you can book accommodations?

The official website of the city of Paris should give you all the details that you're looking for, if your guidebooks aren't telling you, which any good one will.

"In Advance!" is pretty weird if this trip is happening in 2 weeks! Let's hope we are talking about 2019.

1. Take a look at the Paris Museum Pass. You won't have to stand in a long line to purchase tickets and may have a separate entrance (for instance at the Louvre).

2. If you don't want to invest in the Museum Pass, be aware that the Louvre has entrances other than the pyramid which has long lines. Check out this website.

3. Final tip: visit lesser known and less visited museums — Marmatton (instead of Musée d'Orsay) or the Cluny (museum of the middle ages).

Some things that may be useful for you: Sunday is the first day in June so the Champs Élysée will be closed to cars and open for pedestrians. Also, it is the day for Le Diner en Blanc do that may have an effect on traffic and crowd patterns (the location won’t be announced until June 2). Also the first Sunday of every month is free Louvre day.

Enjoy Paris, whatever you decide.

I don't think there are any big tricks to beat crowds in major city museums in those capital cities during a heavy tourist season. There will be crowds. I agree the museum pass MIGHT make sense in Paris, but only if you really want to do a lot of museums in one day. Even then, crowds will be the same inside regardless of your ticket. In terms of lines just to get in, it seems to me that they are not as bad very first thing when it opens AND in later afternoon or evening, if possible to go, as mid-day. I went to the Orsay once in peak tourist season right when it opened, for example, and I think my wait was less than 30 minutes to get in. It doesn't matter a lot to tourists what day of the week it is, the only difference are local visitors, of course, who may go on weekends. But I wouldn't plan around that.

I really do not understand how if you have a trip planned for those 3 cities, you can pick which day to visit Paris. Your itinerary would have to be in some logical order, and if you have it planned already, that means you must have some plane or train ticket to get to your first city, don't you? Maybe you are driving and live in that area, who knows. But there is nothing special about Paris compared to Amsterdam in terms of avoiding museum crowds.

If put Bruges in the middle, logically, and then I think you'd be there on the weekend. I don't know if that makes sense or not, I was there a long time ago and it could be it is a special tourist destination so weekday or weekend doesn't matter, so that would work out. It's so geared to tourists, I imagine most things there are open every day. The art museum is closed MOnday, however.

1st time travelers - just a word on train tickets Paris-Bruges and Bruges-Amsterdam. Book far in advance as possible to snatch deep discounted tickets over full fare - www.thalys.com- book your own online and get the ABS fare (Google Thalys ABS fare) which is a great deal as you can take any train from Brussels to Bruges that day and then any train Bruges to Antwerp to join the Thalys train there. www.seat61.com is the best site to get a fix on train tickets and booking your own. Other good sites for learning about European trains - www.ricksteves.com and BETS-European Rail Experts.

With only 9 days I'd spend 4 in Paris - 2 in Bruges and 3 in Amsterdam - fly into Paris and out of Amsterdam - so-called Open Jaw tickets.
