Hi Venkatesan,

The places you wish to see require you to stay in Lucerne (Titlis, Pilatus) and Zermatt (Gornergrat). Three days is an absolute minimum for this. More would be better, as ideally you would have a day for each attraction and have some spare time in order to be flexible if the weather does not cooperate. A 3-day Swiss Travel Pass could suit your needs.
