How does one "navigate" by train across Central Europe? [closed]

We are a family of 4, 2 youth aged 21 and 24. We plan to reach Lucerne on 19th of July 2014.... Lucerne-2 nights, then Salzburg 3 Night, then Vienna 3 nights, then Budapest 3 nights and Prague 3 nights and fly out. That is, we will visit four different countries, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, overland.

Are there better ways to travel in some countries and different ways for others? For instance, the eurail pass in some countries or buy sector tickets in others?
Should these tickets be bought at the venue in some countries? Or online for others?
