I don't know why the SNCF site would have any issue with that destination, but it is easy to get schedules through DB . You will get different results for entering Mont-St-Michel or for entering Pontorson-Mont-St-Michel, so look at both.
When you go to buy tickets from SNCF, you'd probably only book ahead for the portions by TGV. 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.

If you take the train to Pontorson, you will need to take either a bus or a taxi to Mont-St-Michel.
