My adult daughter and I will be traveling from Florence to Milan on our last day (April 17) in Italy to see the Last Supper and fly out of Malpenza the next day April 18.
1) Is the last supper easily accessible from Milan’s Central Station? Walking distance or cab?
2) We will have our rolling suitcases with us- can we check them anywhere? Or do we take our luggage in with us.
After touring around in Milan and spending the day there- we plan to spend the night out near the airport.
You need to book tickets in advance. Not sure any would be available this late date. Doesn't look like it.

You can also try booking a tour with City Wonders or Walks of Italy that includes the Last Supper.

Google maps will show you that Milan Centrale is not within walking distance of the Last Supper. Says it's a 51 min walk so technically you could walk
You will need to check your bags at train station.
Make sure you purchase tickets ASAP and leave your bags at the train station. Hop on the metro and get off at Cadorna or Conciliazine which is a five minute walk from the church.
If you’re coming from Centrale, take the green line to Cadorna and exit there. It’s about a 10 min walk to the church. The left luggage is in the basement of Centrale, just follow the signs. Sometimes there’s a line, sometimes there’s not. Tickets for the Last Supper occasionally pop up online after they “sell out” but that requires a lot of diligence and luck. Your best bet is to call the ticket office and check for availability. Yes, they all speak English. Otherwise, book with a tour group like ChristineH mentioned.
We booked it as part of one of those third-party tours, which included a tour of the La Scala theater, Sforza castle, and a walk through the central shopping area (the Duomo was closed at that time). We were glad we did, because we wanted to see those things anyway. And because the timed entry visit to the Last Supper chapel, only gives you fifteen minutes inside the room, it would have been a large effort for a short time if we had tickets only for that,
