From Zurich, I think you should consider a day trip via train up to Davos. Check ahead of time to see if the trams are running out of Davos to the tops of the mountains (they close at some point in the summer for maintenance).

Unless you have piles of cash you want to burn, skip Monaco. The place is uberexpensive and other than the F1 circus, doesn't have much going for it. Lots of drop dead gorgeous women that won't look at you unless you make seven figures. Amsterdam is a must -- not just for the Bulldog and the "window" shopping, but for the art and history. Take a canal boat ride.
Having lived in Europe for ten years my favorite city is Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Check it out online and see if you agree.
Paris is nice in the summer because most of the Parisiennes have left. I prefer LeMans myself.
Take a one-way Rhein cruise, then take the train back. It follows the river and you can stop to sample some of the best wine in the world and great food along the way.
Have fun and don't try to see it all in one trip.

Switzerland is an amazing place. You can visit Gstaad, a really beautiful ski town. You can check out the Matterhorn, there's a cool little town at it's base. The driving there is absolutely breathtaking as you're at the top of the mountains.





The Norther part of Italy is also really cool. Florance has incredible architecture and museums, Venice would be more fun with a significant other, but it's still pretty cool to see, the resort lake area just south of Switzerland has great hotels and there's some cool scenery.



17 days won't be enough to see it all.

Got you covered !




Have you considered the Baltics? A dollar goes far and buses will take you all through Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Plus from Estonia it's a short ferry ride to Finland.

Here's a tip. Europeans really like capitalization at the beginning of each sentence and periods at the ends. They also appreciate using an apostrophe when writing contractions.
