Some veneers cannot be refinished and most veneers are tricky. Veneer can be papery thin or about as thin as a penny. If it is a wood veneer, you can try to strip it with a chemical stripper like Citrastrip and then sand lightly. You have to be rather gentle with it or you could actually cause it to come off the wood.
If it is a particle board with a foil veneer, any kind of chemical stripper could melt it or ruin it and sanding is not going to do the furniture any favors.
Research Rustoleum's Furniture Transformation kits. Little prep, no sanding, no toxic fumes, and a wide selection of colors to choose from. I used it on a bathroom vanity years ago and it's holding up well.

Use a good primer like Kilz, let dry 24 hrs. then good gloss. May need 2 coats of each.
Rough it up with sandpaper then use a good primer

Sand VERY carefully. The proceed as normal.
