Hi Gayathri, and welcome to MySwissAlps,

We don’t create itineraries here but we can help you decide where you may like to go. Have a look at the following pages on our website:
You can indeed start in Geneva and end in Zurich. Since you’re flight is from Paris I would end in Lucerne and take the train to Paris from there. It’s also possible to cover Zermatt.

A possible route: Geneva (if possible don’t stay here for the night and go straight to Montreux) – Montreux – Zermatt – Interlaken (stay in Wengen or Grindelwald) – Lucerne. If you click on the links you can see which highlights you can visit from the different places.

I hope this helps get you started!
