I want to chalk paint my dining room table but I am having a had time picking a color because it is open to living room and I want it to coordinate with coffee table and end table. Also the table is not real wood. It there anything I have to do to prep for chalk painting it?

Do you have photos? That would help. :)
What color are your coffee table and end table? White is always classic and never goes out of style. If you're painting the top of your table, sand it and prime it (even with chalk paint!) Table tops get a lot more wear and tear than other furniture. Top coat with 2-3 coats of polycrylic, which won't yellow over time.
Not seeing what all other colors you are working with - a neutral color is always a good answer. Make sure to give it at least a good sanding and cleaning before you start painting - here is my dining room table I did last year: https://www.hometalk.com/diy/kitchen-dining/kitchen-dining-furniture/the-family-table-transformation-37548843
