First of all, i would like to thanks this forum for the good suggestions.
Now i have booked my tickets for my first euro trip and very excited about it.
I am covering 3 countries Netherlands, France, Switzerland.
I am flying to Amsterdam on 10th may and flying back from Zurich on 23rd May.
Can exp people suggest some good itinerary for my stay and places that i must cover during my stay.

14/15/16/17/18 ( 5N ) Paris and nearby areas,
19/20/21/22 (4N) Switzerland visit, on 23rd fly back from Zurich.

I am flexible to modify my stay in any of the city based on the feedback if required.

Looks like a good plan. I would probably do three nights in Amsterdam unless one day was for visiting Brugges.

May is a nice time of the year.

Where in Switzerland do you plan on visiting? Zurich has no mountains, so I recommend a town in the Berner Oberland region such as Murren, Lauterbrunnen, or Wengen.

If you want to see Dutch tulips in all their glory, the Keukenhof spring flower park just outside Amsterdam will be in its final couple of weeks of operation when you arrive.

You could visit Madurodam, in den Haag (Madurodam is a miniature park with scale models of famous and characteristic buildings and scenes from all over the country). Since there is a three-year-old in your party, I'd say it's a do-not-miss.

I agree with Fast Eddie go to Murren, Lauterbrunnen, or Wengen.
