We have 3 days 4 nights to travel
Not sure I am getting this. Do you really mean 4 days and 3 nights? Or 5 days and 4 nights?
Anyway, here is my take.
Day 1: Travel from Munich to Mainz (about 4 hours) and spend the night (1N)
Day 2: Take the 9:30 KD boat from Mainz to Boppard and spend 3 nights (1N).
Day 3: Visit Rhine castles using VRM tickets for the trains and buses, return to Boppard (1N)
Day 4: Visit Mosel valley to Cochem, Burg Eltz, wine festivals if its a weekend. Use a VRM day ticket to travel on the trains and buses, return to Boppard (1N)
Day 5: Train to Amsterdam (about 5 hours)
That way, you have a base in Boppard for 3 nights and can travel with VRM tickets as far south as Oberwesel, cross the Rhine at ferry points. as for up the Mosel as Bullay and Zell, and as far north as Linz. You can flip days 3 & 4.
