I just got back from France/Italy in April. Great trip.
Tips:
Plan your basic route but keep flexible if you want to hang out a little longer in one city. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Many travelers try to cover too much ground their first trip and spend most of it in a train/airport. I could easily spend all of August in the Alps. Hang out for a while and get to know the people. We try to do at least 2 nights in each city. Carry less gear than you think you will need and do a laundry stop once or twice. The rail system in Europe rocks. Get the railpass. During August most of Europe is on vacation so get reservations for "must see" sites like the Colosseum.
Enjoy!
