Hi Kanupriya, and welcome to MySwissAlps,

1. Your itinerary looks fine. You’re not trying to fit in too many things, so it should be relaxed.
2. I can only see you doing the Glacier Express on the last day. However, it will be a very long train trip and I’m not sure what time your flight is. You could leave Montreux at 06:43, take the Glacier Express at 09:52 and take the train from Chur to Zurich which should bring you at the airport at 17:42.
