Switching Train from Cologne to Paris in Brussels

I will be travelling with my 5 year old grandaughter in two weeks. At some point we train from Colgne to Brussels and sitch trains to Paris.....I understand there is only 25 minutes between trains. IS it possible to make the connection with that small window.

Thank you.

It isn%26#39;t a small window: assuming that you already have your tickets for Paris, all you have to go is come down from one platform, head for platforms 3-5 which is where Thalys trains leave from, identify which one your particular train is leaving from (sign at the bottom of each escalator as well as big overhead departure board), go up the escalator to that platform, and find the correct carriage (which you could do from the inside if by any chance the train is about to depart). You don%26#39;t need more than 10 minutes to make the connection.

I can%26#39;t understand why you have to switch trains anyway as the Thalys goes directly fram Cologne to Paris!
