Just launch it with the "--windowed" flag:
netflix-desktop --windowed

Could I do anything from my end to not make me have to open up a terminal?

I don't like opening a terminal just to launch a program that is on my launcher

Unfortunately, at least on my version of Ubuntu, there is no easy way to edit the launcher flags for an application. However, should you wish you can edit the launcher like so:
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/netflix-desktop.desktop
and change the line:
Exec=netflix-desktop
to:
Exec=netflix-desktop --windowed

This change will cause your launcher to always execute Netflix Desktop in windowed mode.
