the Schrodinger equation is a differential equation, and to normalize the wavefunction you must solve the schrodinger equation with a given set of boundary conditions. We don't know where this particle is, what energy it has, etc. so we can't normalize. Am I wrong?
Normalizing refers to setting the integral of the wavefunction to 1, by adding a multiplicative constant to the function. This is the first thing you must do when you have solved the schrodinger's equation. This is: integrate the wavefunction over the space (-infinity to infinity in the three directions) and add a constant that multiplies it that allows that integral to be equal to one.
