I've always been a fan of multiclassing since AD&D when my first character ever was a fighter/magic-user.  I also played a cleric/magic-user back then.  After going through the multiclassing rules in 5E, I've decided to play a cleric/wizard to see how well multiclassing works with a two spellcasting classes.  I like how 5E multiclassing works and feel that I can make an effective cleric/wizard.

 

I plan to start as a cleric with the knowledge domain and then add wizard levels.  I'm probably going to take more wizard levels than cleric.  Probably go cleric 1, wizard 1, cleric 2, wizard 2-5.  With my character concept, I'll be choosing the knowledge domain and diviniation school.

 

I was wondering if there are any other players who have decide to play a multiclass character with two spellcasting classes.  I'd be interested in knowing your experiences.

With your levels as described, it'll be quite awhile before you can bump any ability scores. Otherwise, it sounds like fun. I'm hoping to play something similar in the future.

Wizard/Cleric multiclass is quite effective.  I particulary like Knowledge Cleric as it fits nicely with the "Educated" style of a wizard.  I guess the only suggestion I would have is holding off level 2 of Knowledge Cleric until after level 5 of Wizard, though that is only for optimization reasons.  If those mean little to you, your plan sounds terrific.
