Travel plug adapters

We haven’t been to Europe in 5 years and need new plug adapters and converters, and not sure which ones! I tried searching and am not getting much info that way.

We’re visiting France, Italy and Switzerland We’d like one that includes an extension plug.
I know 1 of the countries (switzerland maybe?) needs a separate one than the others, but again, not sure what’s needed.

If you could please provide Amazon links that would be super helpful, thanks!

Why would the one you used 5 years ago not work?

France and Italy both use the standard two-prong European adapter (offered in the Rick Steves store for $3 each, I believe.) Switzerland is different. I purchased that one at my local AAA store, though I was advised by RS Europe that stacking two of the regular European two-prong adapters often works.
