Look at door-to-door travel time, not just train time. Packing, getting to the station, waiting, arriving, finding the hotel and checking in all count. A three-hour train can eat half a day.

Answers & Discussion
I did five countries in two weeks on my first Europe trip and came home exhausted. The photos were great, but I barely remember some places. A slower trip feels less impressive on paper but better in real life.
That is too many for most people. You will spend half the trip checking out, sitting on trains and figuring out new neighborhoods. For two weeks, I would choose three main bases max, maybe with day trips.
