Hi!

15 days is enough time for those four cities, just perfect! Do you already know how you want to go to Budapest/go back home after Paris? By train or by plane?
If you take the plane, the 5in10 Global Pass will be the perfect solution for you. You then could fly to Budapest, spend some days there and activate your pass when you leave for Wien. Then go from Venezia to Paris on the last day of validity, spend some days there and then fly home. That would even leave you spare days on your pass which you could use for a day trip somewhere along your route.
If you get a cheap flight to Bratislava you could go to Vienna first, then to Budapest (Bratislava is about one hour from Vienna). From both Wien and Budapest you have direct night trains to Venezia:

[u]https://rail.cc/en/budapest-venice-night-train/f1387[/u]
It is advisable to do this journey overnight as there are no direct day trains. ;)

From Venezia to Paris there'd also be a direct night train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/venice-milan-paris-night-train/f3675[/u] If you want to you could also go during the day and have a stop somewhere along the route - Milano maybe (and continue the next day to Paris) or cross the Alps into Switzerland and have a stop at Genève, Bern or Zürich. Pay attention to the supplements for fast trains within Italy and between Italy and France/Switzerland: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/italy/it[/u]
