There is a night train between Zürich and Prague, operated by ČD. Book your tickets at www.cd.cz

Otherwise I think day trains are the best as the distances are a bit short for night trains.

"If train, which line?" - do you mean which route (answer: the quickest), or are you asking which train company (answer: the national company, one for each country)?

Some of your trips are easier than others. Trento to Zermatt in particular will take all day (~8 hours).

I suggest you start with the "Man in Seat 61" website: https://www.seat61.com/Europe-train-travel.htm
This website has sections for each country, and in many cases pages for specific routes, describing the services and where to buy tickets.
For example, Prague to Salzburg: https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/salzburg-to-prague-by-train.htm
Salzburg to Innsbruck: https://www.seat61.com/international-trains/trains-from-Salzburg.htm#Salzburg-Austria
etc.
