12 nights Austria Itinerary needed

Hi,
I am planning to visit Austria with my family 2 Adult and a child during the later part of May month.
I have heard of Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna as must to cover and am open for any changes. I tried to go through lot of posts in the forum, but got confused.
Can you help me with a perfect detailed itinerary for this with point of arrival and departure. Our interest is natures beauty and moderate tour of Palaces.
Also, is it possible to add a day trip to Budapest.
Is there option for good budget apartment/ cottage stays or Hotels will be best option.
Thanks for the nice forum with such detailed informations.

Manish,

Rick Steves has an itinerary planning article published here. Buying his Austria guide also useful.

With 12 nights, I would allocate 3 or 4 to Vienna, and the same to Salzburg. We only spent 2 nights in Salzburg and wished we had stayed longer.

I think Budapest is a long shot for a day trip, but maybe you could allocate 3 nights to it for a decent visit.

3 nights Budapest

4 nights Vienna

3 nights Salzburg

2 nights Hallstatt perhaps?
