August in Switzerland

I would appreciate any help with this trip. We will be arriving in Lucerne from Paris and plan to spend 2 nights there. We would then like to got to Jungfraujoch and Zermatt. We would like suggestions for how to navigate these 2 areas - towns to stay in? After this we are undecided. We would like to do the Bernina express to Italy so that we can eventually fly out of Milan. After Zermatt we have 3 days to get to Milan. How can we do this?

You're not saying how much time you have total. And just so you're prepared, you're going to have an extremely difficult time finding lodging in Grindelwald or Wengen for Jungfraujoch and Zermatt during August. That's the height of the tourist season and tourism in these areas was insane last year at that time and set to be even worse this year.

Thank you. We will leave Lucerne on August 15 and hope to take the Bernina express to Italy on August 19. Should we spend more time in Jungfrau or Zermatt? Is this doable?
