We agree that flying is usually cheapest as well as fastest; see www.skyscanner.com. A daytime train from Venice to Paris takes 11-12 hours with 1-2 connections. There is a direct overnight train, but not particularly cheap, and not everyone sleeps well on a train. For more about trains within Italy, which are relatively fast and affordable, see http://www.ricksteves.com/travel-tips/transportation/trains/italy-rail-passes.

Any way but the night train. We took the Venice to Paris night train last year and it was awful. A/C broke, dining room a joke, sleeping compartment (just the 2 of us) very cramped, just not worth it.
