Well Ive asked this before, but I still as well as or travel agent has questions regarding getting to Murren Switzerland from Munich Germany and then getting from Murren to Paris. It seems like I see an avenue going from Munich to Zurich Take any of the SBB trains from Zurich airport or Zurich city to Interlaken Ost. Take the BOB(Berner Oberland Bahn) train to Lauterbrunnen. Walk across the street to the BLM station and catch the cablecar up to Grutchalp and the train into Murren. is it really as hard as it sounds?

Your description of going from Zurich to Murren is accurate, except you may also have to change trains in Bern. It is very easy. Yes, you need to make multiple transfers, but all of them are a piece of cake. There are plenty of easy to understand signs in English. All transfers are well-coordinated and simple. If you are unsure of your next move, just ask somebody, the locals speak English and will politely point you in the right direction.

You description is accurate. The transportation changes are also accurate. However, it's not as difficult as it sounds. Depending on the run you choose, you will change transportation (trains, cable cars) as few as 3 times or as many as 7 times. The journey will take you between 8-9hrs. It will take you 7.0 of those hours just to get you to Interlaken Ost. The remainder is a journey you will not easily forget. At Interlaken Ost walk a few feet to track 2A and take the local Jungfraubahn train into Lauterbrunnen. This takes about 22 minutes and is very scenic. At Lauterbrunnen, you walk about 300 feet from the train to the Lauterbrunnen BLM. It's just across the street. The Lauterbrunnen BLM is a cable car. The ride up to Grutshalp takes 6 minutes. At Grutshalp, a small train will be waiting for you. 14 minutes later, you are in Muerren. The Swiss are so great at this. You won't miss any changes and it's super simple unless you have way too much luggage. From Muerren to Paris, you just reverse and travel out to Interlaken Ost. From Interlaken Ost, you will most likely journey to Basel where you will change to the French TGV for your ride into Paris. The entire journey will take just over 6.0hrs.
