Just booked a round trip direct flight to Copenhagen for two weeks in June/July 2025. Looking to spend 4-5 days each in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Any tips/advice on what to see in each country if I stick to about 4 nights in each country? I’m leaning towards staying in Bergen, Stockholm, and Copenhagen but am flexible with other options

I would add Oslo to your list of cities to visit.

How to give advice without knowing your interests?
Most special in Scandinavian summers are Midnight Sun in the far North and also Midsummer in Sweden.
Scandinavia is more known for nature than urban experience. Norway's fjords are unique.
Besides RS recommendations I recommend using the tourist website of the places.
Btw: the most visited towns compared to number of inhabitans around Balric Sea are neither Stockholm nor Copenhagen.

We have visited all three countries and recommend taking in a cruise of some of the amazing Norwegian fjords. Geiranger fjord was the best. Bergen is nice, but the fjord is not as impressive.
I suggest coming back after your trip for a cruise up the coast of Norway all the way to the North Cape.
If you only have 4/5 days in Norway, you can't go that far up the coast. Other great ports are Alesund, Flam and Stavanger. Take the Path of the Trolls Tour.

It's very hard to give any advice without knowing anything about your interests and what you're looking for. But for a fortnight starting in Copenhagen my suggestion would be Copenhagen-Stockholm-Oslo-Bergen-Copenhagen or v.v.

Probably true, but the cities the OP listed are all delightful visits in their own right. Bergen (which we were in very briefly, so grain of salt) felt to me most like the US; Oslo feels more "European" to me. But YMMV.
Riding the train from Bergen to Oslo (or vice versa) is an experience that shouldn't be missed IMO.
