Swiss railways website: www.sbb.ch
All rail lines and stations have at least one train per hour, usually at the same time every hour.
Are you starting from Zürich city centre (Zürich HB station), or the airport (Zürich Flughafen)? you will have to enter the correct one.
There is more than one Gossau in Switzerland. You need to find out which one you want to go to:
On the SBB website these are referred to as "Gossau SG" and "Gossau ZH".

We are going to Gossau, St Gallen. Can i just buy tickets to Gossau at the train station or do i have to reserve?

No reservation needed or possible. Just buy a ticket and get on board.

Swiss railway prices are fixed. It doesn't matter if you buy the ticket early or on the day, or which train you choose, Zürich airport to Gossau SG costs CHF 25 (full fare second class). Any ticket is valid on any train.
Trains leave Zürich Flughafen station at 22 and 52 minutes past each hour, and it takes either 44 or 51 minutes for the trip. Just buy a ticket and jump on the next train.
