Normally you don't have to be in neutral to engage the CDL. Sometimes it takes a bit of forward (or reverse) motion before it locks. The light should blink until it actually engages, then go steady when it's locked in.
Just go out to a parking lot, engage the CDL, wait for a steady light, and then make a slow, fairly sharp turn. Don't apply much power. It should feel like you just stepped on the brakes. If the vehicle turns without resistance, the CDL is not actually engaged.
If it does resist turning, your test is complete. Don't push it further, instead stop, back up to relieve the drive train windup, and disengage the CDL.
