Some of the dates --
North America:
April 4th-6th: New York City
Apr 11-14th: Los Angeles
Apr 25-27: Dallas
Apr 25-27: Toronto
Europe
Apr 4th-6th: Paris
Apr 11-14th: London
Apr 25-27: Milan & Berlin
May 9-11: Madrid & Amsterdam
Tokyo: Apr 25-27
If you're in any of these cities, looks like you'll be able to play the Switch 2 in April through early May. Based on these dates I would say the launch is first week of May (the Switch 1 hands on events was the same thing, ran through the first week of March and the system launched March 3) though even late April might be possible.
For the Switch 1 the tour dates ended in Los Angeles Mar 3-5th (Switch 1 launched on March 3rd), so based on that I'd say the date is May 9th is the probable date.
