By my account, he goes with the Hunt a year or so after his "death" in Rivia. After the events in Rivia, Ciri took both Geralt and Yennefer to the Isle of Avalon, where they recuperated and lived happily for a time. Then the Wild Hunt came, ravaged the Isle and made of with Yennefer. Geralt then began pursuing the Hunt, and caught up with them at the Hanged Man' s tree ( not the one in Velen), where he switched places with Yennefer and became one of the riders of the ghastly retinue. After having spent some time with them, he was rescued by Ciri, who left him at the foot of Kaer Morhen and that' s where the first game kicks off.

Regarding his amnesia, in the second game Geralt explains that all those who come in contact with the electromagnetic field around the Wild Hunt develop it, him and Yennefer being the prime example. However, in The Witcher 3, Yennefer says that Eredin simply whiped their memory. Make of that what you will. I hope this provides answers to your questions.
