train travel vs. car in Eastern Europe

We are flying round trip to Prague. We will be in Europe for 20 days. We would like to go to Croatia, Italy and back to Prague. Is train service as good there as it is in other parts of Europe? Where should we plan on a train and where renting a car? Where in Italy does it make sense to go within 10 days? Should we loop through Venice to return to Prague?
