Train from Stuttgart to Colmar: Need booking help

I'm sure this is user error on some level, but I cannot seem to book this train trip using either the RailEurope or the Deutsche Bahn sites. Friday, Nov 30, 2018, from Stuttgart to Colmar. 4 people. One way. 2nd class. Prefer to arrive in Colmar not too much earlier than 5PM because that is the check-in time for our Airbnb.

DB site sends me directly to RailEurope, where I get this error message: *It is possible the journey that you are searching for is made up of more than 2 connections, or includes other modes of transportation. We advise that you use our Interactive Rail Map to break up your itinerary. If you continue to receive an error, it is possible that the trains may be sold out.

Not certain what to do next. Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks! Used Trainline. Tickets booked and paid for.

FYI, when receiving the message that you quoted from RailEurope, it normally does work to follow their advice. In this case, for instance, they could sell you a reserved Stuttgart-Strasbourg TGV ticket and a separate, non-reserved ticket for the local Strasbourg-Colmar connection. DeutscheBahn also could have sold the Stuttgart-Strasbourg TGV ticket but not the connecting Strasbourg-Colmar leg that's entirely within France.
