Purchase of Swiss Train Ticket in Munich

We are taking a train from Munich to Zermatt. I know that the leg of Munich to the first city in Switzerland (we have a Global Pass) and from then on must purchase the Swiss portions point to point. Can we purchase these in advance while in Munich or do we have to wait until either our first connection or on-board the train? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I think the Eurail global pass includes all of your route through Switzerland (SBB) with the exception of the section of the Glacier express route from Visp (maybe Brig) to Zermatt. Except for that section (for which the pass gets you a 25% discount) you shouldn't need point-point tickets. There might be some other sections in Switzerland not included in a pass, but you shouldn't need them to get to Brig. I expect the Reisezentrum in Munich would sell you that section. In any case, you could get tickets online from SBB.
