Hello jung1991,
Thanks for your post! Your plans are doable, but not ideal to my taste. You would change base every day which means you need to spend a lot of time on traveling, packing, checking in/out of hotels and unpacking. I would advice to eliminate one or two towns to have more time left for activities and sightseeing.
Another tip is not to fly for such a short distance like Paris - Geneva and rather use the high speed TGV trains. You will see much more while traveling, it's eco friendly, and it won't take more time (perhaps even less). I would skip Geneva and take a TGV from Paris to Basel, then another train from Basel to Bern. There's even a direct one, but it arrives late in the evening. Then proceed to Zermatt and finally Montreux. You could even skip Montreux and focus on two towns, which is not a bad idea with just a few days available.
