So by yesterday afternoon I'd managed to get it up to Paris on 30 March 1940 and Brussels and the Hague the following turn.
Basically,
On Turn 1, remove MPPs from research so you have an immediate budget for operational moves. Operate Armies from the Western and Southern Polish frontier and the Luftwaffe. Use your free infantry on the Western border to take Luxembourg. Move the two Panzer units back to locations they can operate from. Upgrade the fighter on the Western Front as it will be important for air cover later. Attack into Poland with everything that's from East Prussia and two corps from SW of Warsaw.
On Turn 2, declare war on Belgium and drive into eastern Belgium France with the armies you operated over on turn 1. Operate more Corps over. Poland might last until turn 4.
This then gives you a good start. You have your strongest units deployed against partially-mobilized French units so you can destroy some key French units before they have the chance to reinforce. You don't have enough troops to attack across the whole width of the front, so try to keep your advance on a 3-4 hex front. It will be slower going than if you start in May 1940, but you can set it up so that you can take Paris on the first turn of 1940 that your air units can bomb the garrison.
