Agree with Pat. A package will be on a bus (slow) and may not go where you want. Take the train, a lot faster and cheap if booked in advance.
For your short beginners trip I suggest Luzern. Easy and quick to get to by train. It has lakes (boat trips), mountains (with cable cars up them) as well as been a nice old town.
Trains from Paris to Switzerland are run by a company called "TGV-Lyria". There is one train every 2 hours. Timetable here: http://www.tgv-lyria.com/sites/default/files/pdf/BROCHURES_CO/frequencies-timetable-2017s1-fr_ch-tgv-lyria-en.pdf
You take the TGV Paris to Basel (3 hours), then a Swiss intercity from there to Luzern (further hour), step out the station and you are on the quayside with views of mountains.
