Mademoiselle used to refer to unmarried women and young women. It had the connotation of 'young' because unmarried women tended to be younger women who had not found a partner. At least, that was the case when these terms emerged. Nowadays, though, the term « Mademoiselle » is seen as sexist as it defines a woman through her marital status and we don't do the same for a man. Thus, Mademoiselle is officially no longer used and Madame is used for women in general.
To your question, I would just put Madame.

mademoiselle I've only really heard used in jest or for very young girls, otherwise it just sounds Bad

#

even then it's probably best to avoid, just, you may hear it in those cases on rare occasions

nowadays the marital status thing doesn't really apply. It's more based on age

Like if they're an adult, pretty much 1000% madame
Adolescent/child, maybe mademoiselle
