Hey Arthem,

Let's begin with the think I know, and where I can help you with:
The nighttrain Berlin - Amsterdam is for quite a long time ago suspended. And in the near till far future it is and will be suspended. It is also writen in yellow on top of the connection.
Have also a look at the blogpost: https://rail.cc/blog/netherlands-rail-travel/
All connections written here on RailCC are examples and handmade. I suggest taking the normal 'Intercity Berlijn' train taking about 6 hours. The first train departs on 6.42 in Berlin Hbf Tief and every 2 hours later.

IC Brussels is your best option available. You can choose for the Thalys but is much more expensive.

I can recomment the nighttrain towards Zurich. In this example you are taking the Thalys what gives you the high reservation fee as well. You may want to look inside the ICE Brussels Midi - Cologne 18.25-20.15.

Hi Arthem.
Wouter explained you already the important things. :)

Also check in the top to change from normal point to point train tickets to the Interrail option. There is usually listed, where to buy the reservations.

The night train connection Warsaw via Szczecin to Berlin also change the next days. I just updated it. Now it isn't that good anymore. If you want to use this connection, either contact [ux]https://rail.shop/pkpic[/ux] and ask if you can get the reservation by email or buy it in Warsaw at the station.
The same for the Warsaw-Berlin day train connection. It shouldn't be a problem.

In Belgium, also have a look at the cities of Brugges ( [u]https://rail.cc/en/bruges/c[/u] ) and Ghent ( [u]https://rail.cc/en/ghent/c[/u] ) which I personally prefer than Brussels. :)

Belgium to Brussels: you have as well direct and free day trains from Brussels to Basel, from where you have frequent and free trains to Zurich: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/brussels-to-zurich[/u]

Zurich to Munich: I would not use a night train on this route which is max 4:30 by train. Why not including Italy...?! :)
The for Interrailers free connection to Milan: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/zurich-milano-albula-bernina/[/u]
From Milan then by overnight train to Munich: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train/milan-munich-cnl40481/274[/u]
Leave Zurich in the morning, travel up to Milan, where you change to the night train to Munich. A lot of travel, but nice. As well you can buy the reservation for this night train online. :)

That's it... :)
