It goes like this -

PF calls "Go-around flap 15" whilst simultaneously pressing the TOGA switch.

PM selects flap 15.

If flying manually PF pitches to the flight director, and if the auto-throttle had been disengaged PF advances the thrust levers to an outstretched arms length. PM can adjust this when workload permits.

With a positive rate of climb indicated the PM calls "positive climb" and the PF asks for the gear to be retracted.

Passing 400 feet AGL PM calls "400 feet", in response PF asks for a roll mode, either LNAV or HDG SEL.

Passing 1000 feet AAL (or acceleration altitude) PM makes an appropriate call and PF asks for flap 5. PM selects flap 5.

The selection of flap 5 commands the acceleration, once above the flap speed schedule PF calls for flap 1, and PM verifies the speed and selects flap 1. The same happens for flaps up.

Once the flaps are up the auto-pilot can be engaged.

The GOTCHA - If ALT ACQ happens prior to the completion of the acceleration, the speed window will open at the speed the aircraft is presently flying at. If neither pilot notices then it is possible to retract flaps at speeds that you really wouldn't want to.
