I am trying to narrow down our itinerary for a trip we want to take in September this year. So far I have flying into Munich early September and flying out of Zurich 12 days later. Is there a place/area I have missed? This is very preliminary so any suggestions on how long to spend in an area or any places I seemed to have missed would be greatly appreciated.
Munich 2 to 3 days
Interlaken, Grindelwald area 2 days
Lauterbrunnen & Jungfraujoch 2-3 days
Zurich 2 days

I don't know why you would stay in two different places to visit the Berner Oberland. The places you mention are all in the same neighborhood. Pick one and stay there. Also, why 2 days in Zurich? Is there something there you want to see? I'd spend them in Luzern as it is only 1 hour by direct train to Zurich airport.

Agreed, your plan doesn’t make sense to split 1 region into 2 separate stays.
Munich 3 nights > Wengen or Grindelwald 5 Nights > Luzern 3 nights > Zurich Airport via direct train from Luzern
From one base in Wengen or Grindelwald you can easily visit Interlaken/Lake Brienz/Lake Thun, Grindelwald, Jungfraujoch, Wengen, Lauterbrunnen & Mürren
From Luzern you can do a lake day (Vitznau + Mt Rigi is great) as well as a day trip to a city like Bern or Zurich and even visit the Italian part of Switzerland via Fluelen/Lugano/Morcote.
You are picking the most popular places in Switzerland so I’d be looking for lodging ASAP.
