Fama-Macbeth does a two-step regression i.e a time-series and cross-sectional regression and we estimate betas and lambdas, so how does one predict based on these parameters, which one to choose?

Those are not predictive models. Fama-MacBeth just checks whether the model is valid unconditionally. Chapter 12 from Cochrane book is a good reference.
