Hi annvarkey,
Your second plan is better, although I would skip Geneva unless the weather is too bad to do anything in Zermatt. It's a long trip and you would leave one of the most beautiful areas in Switzerland for a brief visit to a busy city. See the timetable Annika referred to for travel details, but do so in a week or so, when the schedules for December are available.
Many trails will be inaccessible in December due to snow, but some will (usually) be open, such as Grütschalp to Mürren, which is an easy walk with great views. All Jungfraujoch information is here: www.myswissalps.com/jungfraujoch.
Paragliding can be done all year round, but the weather needs to be good. For details, please contact one of the local companies, like airtime-paragliding.ch or paragliding-interlaken.ch.
Taking a high speed train to Paris is much better than flying, and more enjoyable. From Interlaken (near Lauterbrunnen), you would take a train to Basel, then a high speed direct TGV from there to Paris. See here for how to get cheap tickets.
