Hi.
45 days is a lot of time! :)
I recommend to stay about 3 days in a city (depends of course on the city).
You route looks nice.
Zurich to Milan of course this way: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/zurich-to-milan[/u]
You could add a lot more places and expand your trip a little bit, as you have several short distance journeys in it. No need to do it, but I always love to make kilometers with my Interrail pass. ;)

Hi.
Yes you can buy reservations here on railcc, but the easiest way to buy Interrail-reservations is always during your trip at railway stations!
And save your money! You can travel nearly your whole trip without extra reservations. Just use the railcc schedules here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
And always have an eye on the reservation section: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]

Only for Prague - Krakow and Krakow - Budapest you will need a reservation for the recommended night train. Available in Berlin central station ([u]https://rail.cc/en/berlin/berlin-central-railway-station/l146[/u]) for example.

And as well for Italy to France you usually use an Italian IC train. Reservations available a ticket machines in Italy for EUR 3.
Then Nice to Paris, as well use the direct night train. Or make a round trip, a bit along the coast... either in direction to Barcelona adding the Little Yellow Train and then from there by night train to Paris (use a French one, not the direct one!).
Or from Nice to Nimes and then by the Cevenne-railway in direction of Clermont-Ferrand/Le Puy/Lyon ...
And from Lyon by free local train to Paris.

If you want to support the railcc-project, buy your official Interrail pass here on the recommended website. Thank you!
Peter :)
