Hi...
Looks good your route... not a lot to add. :)
[b]Amsterdam - Cologne[/b]: by free and direct ICE train
[b]Cologne-Berlin[/b]: as well free ICE train
[b]Berlin-Füssen[/b]:
I suppose you only want to stay for one day? Then my proposal is to do it this way:
Berlin Hbf Dep: 2103 | CNL night train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/berlin-munich-night-train/f3764[/u]
Augsburg Hbf Arr: 0622
Augsburg Hbf Dep: 0711 | free Regional train
Füssen Arr: 0856
In the afternoon continue to [b]Munich[/b] (several direct free Regional trains - journey time: 2 hours)
Stay there overnight - and travel from there to [b]Prague[/b]: free and direct ALX day trains - travel time 5-6 hours.
[b]Prague-Krakow[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/prague-krakow-night-train/f4027[/u]
[b]Krakow-Vienna[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/krakow-vienna-night-train/f1903[/u]
[b]Vienna-Budapest[/b]: use a direct day train, for example the free Railjet train. If you use a connection with a change in Hungary, you will have to pay a supplement for their national IC trains:

[b]Budapest-Ljubljana[/b]: you can use several connections - there is one direct day train in the afternoon. Don't use the night train Budapest-Ljubljana-Venice as you will arrive at 02:10h in the night at Ljubljana. Journey time about 9-10 hours.

Maybe think about a stop in [b]Zagreb[/b] for one or two nights - in Slovenia: [b]Lake Bled + Skocjan Caves[/b]
[b]Ljubljana-Venice[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/ljubljana-venice-train/f3663[/u]
