Hello zimmee! Most of your plans are doable, but some days don’t have a logical grouping or order of activities. Some examples are

• getting to the Faulhorn lodge by evening, which can only be reached on foot from First;
• planning the glacier gorge, First, Pfingstegg, the Giessbach Falls and Zurich/Kloten all in one day.

Consulting the Swiss timetable, and a good online Swiss map such as maps.search.ch, will help you locate all activities and find out about traveling times.
