Hello Ashok, You can have your transfer ticket validated by the agent at the little train station inside the airport. There is usually no line at the window. Some departures will have you change at the Zurich main station and at Bern. Others will go to the Zurich main station but you stay on the train and it continues to Bern. You will change there for the train to Interlaken West. You can see the route and timing at www.rail.ch (in English). Your transfer ticket will cover your travel betwen the airport and main station. Just make sure it is validated before you board.
