I think that's probably one of the best flying experience you can do and I strongly encourage you to do that before joining the shiny metallic jet. You will never regret it, I can garanty you that.
That's all I can say, I'm not familiar with the European pilots school, sorry. But if you can, better do all the way to the ATPL, at least it's out of the way for good. Going only for the CPL, you would only be able to fly as captain on small aircraft eg less than 5700kg. Thereafter you can enjoy the flying and not stressed about written exams anymore.
