There are trains from Milan to various places in Switzerland. A particularly good website for finding trains that go from one European country to another is int.bahn.de (that’s the Deutschebahn site). I see on there that there are trains from Milan (Milano Centrale) to Zurich Main Station that only take 3 hr. 12 min.

Where in Switzerland did you want to go?
Just read your other post and unless you’ve got more time, save Switzerland for another trip

Have you been to Europe before? If not, you might benefit from reading this book https://store.ricksteves.com/shop/p/europe-through-the-back-door which is an enormous help in planning and logistics. Usually available in libraries if you do not care to purchase it.
