Are you all European citizens or permanent residents? Required for InterRail or did you mean Eurail?

You are perfect for the Half Fare Card plus the 10-Day Berner Oberland Regional Pass. The discount with the Half Fare Card covers the cost of the HFC (OK off by a Franc), then use the HFC for the ZRH to Luzern leg and time in Luzern and return to ZRH, either from Bern or Luzern.

The kids don't need HFC's, since they get the same discount as Youth. They do pay full fare for the other legs, but that is minor.
