Let $N_1(t),~N_2(t),~N_3(t)$ be independent Poisson processes of rates $lambda_1,~lambda_2,~lambda_3>0$, respectively. Evaluate the probability between two successive arrivals of $N_1$ we get at least one arrival of $N_2$ and at least one arrival of $N_3$.
Attempt. The probability of getting an arrival of $N_i$ (and not of $N_j,~jneq i$) is $fraclambda_ilambda_1+lambda_2+lambda_3.$ If we already have an arrival of $N_1$, then for
$E_i$= the event we get at least one arrival of $N_i$,
we seek $P(E_2cap E_3)=P(E_2)P(E_3).$ So:
$$P(E_2)=1-P(E_2^c)=1-sum_k=0^inftybigg(fraclambda_3lambda_1+lambda_2+lambda_3bigg)^kfraclambda_1lambda_1+lambda_2+lambda_3$$
and similar we work for $E_3.$ Am I on the right path?
Thanks in advance.

I think that the problem can be rephrased as: find $P(X_1<X_3text and X_2<X_3)$ where $X_i$ has exponential distribution with parameter $lambda_i$. Here $X_i$ corresponds with the first arrival time connected with process $N_i(t)$.

After the initial $N_1$ you need to either first get $N_2$ and then $N_3$ before $N_1$, or first $N_3$ and then $N_2$ before $N_1$. Thus the probability is
$$
fraclambda_2lambda_1+lambda_2+lambda_3fraclambda_3lambda_1+lambda_3+fraclambda_3lambda_1+lambda_2+lambda_3fraclambda_2lambda_1+lambda_2=fraclambda_2lambda_3lambda_1+lambda_2+lambda_3left(frac1lambda_1+lambda_3+frac1lambda_1+lambda_2right);.
$$

@Henry: I'm not sure whether you'd count this as "using the memoryless property". I'm using the fact that Poisson processes with rates $lambda_i$ can be combined into a single Poisson process (with rate $sum_klambda_k$) in which each arrival is independently of type $i$ with probability $lambda_i/sum_klambda_k$. This is stated in the question, so I thought it would be OK to use it.

I would say that your $fraclambda_3lambda_1+lambda_3$ term uses the memoryless property, since you are saying once $N_2$ has happened first, the probabilities in the subsequent race between $N_3$ and $N_1$ are the same as they would have been at the start
