Try this:

g1 = Plot3D[Sin[x*y], {x, 0, Pi}, {y, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> None,
  MeshStyle -> Red, Axes -> True, AxesLabel -> {"x", "y", "z"}];
g2 = Plot3D[Cos[x*y], {x, 0, Pi}, {y, 0, Pi}, Mesh -> None,
  PlotStyle -> {Cyan, Opacity[.8]}];
sols1 = w /. Solve[Sin[w] == Cos[w] && 0 < w < Pi^2, w, Reals] // N;
sols2 = Flatten[Solve[{z == Sin[#], x y == #}, {y, z}] & /@ sols1,
  1];
g3 = ParametricPlot3D[{x, y, z} /. sols2, {x, 0, Pi},
  PlotStyle -> {Magenta, Thickness[.007]}];
Show[g1, g2, g3, Background -> LightYellow, ImageSize -> 500]
