What are you hoping to see, where are you planning to stay in each of those three countries?
You need to give more details in order for others to help you.
My wife and I returned a month ago from a very inexpensive Mediterranean cruise on Royal Caribbean that started in Athens, visited 3 Greek islands, Montenegro, Croatia and ended in their new Ravenna port. We took a 70 mile train trip up to Venice and flew back to London.
It was a very good itinerary. We were supposed to be going on a cruise around Scandinavia, but we exchanged it for the Med due to political situations. We've done both cruises in the past and really enjoyed them.
3 countries - with as many places as there are in those three - sounds like a LOT for three weeks. With some travel days involved, that leaves you about 6 days a country. Kind of like a three week trip to Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.

We've twice been to Italy, about 17 or 18 days each time. Once to Croatia - for 10 or 11 days. It really depends on what you want to do, where you want to go, and your style of travel.
