I was wanting to know what route will be the most scenic from these two locations?

The fastest routes won't be near the Alps, which lie in the southern part of Switzerland. If you have time to detour further south, with overnight stays, then you could plan a route via Dijon/Beaune, Montreux, and Interlaken.
Try www.viamichelin.com. For instance, you can request their "recommended" route or "discovery" route. If you have a Michelin France Driving Atlas or regional map in print, then the more scenic routes are marked with a green line.
For faster travel, there are direct TGV trains from Paris to Zurich that only take 4 hours. Rick’s France rail travel page has the link and tips for buying “Prems” rate TGV tickets through SNCF (cheap, reserved, nonrefundable, available three or four months ahead of your travel date) to print at home and pay with PayPal. It does not tend to work with US credit cards, unless you have an extra level of security set up..
