Is there any need to purchase train tickets from Paris to SJPP in advance? I would like to stay as flexible as possible.

Generally there no absolute necessity to purchase ahead but you might feel more relaxed during heavy travel times knowing that you do have a reserved seat. You noted in an earlier post that you will arrive April 15 which is after Easter. However that will be a busy time for travel in general; Easter is often considred the start of "the season". Further busy times in Spain will be May 1, Labor Day, which is celebrated throughout Europe.
Be prepared and Buen camino!
