Three countries in 10 days? I would look for an organized tour that works for you (although it's very late in searching that option).
If you're not interested in an organized tour, you'll have to think smaller. Two countries, only 2-3 destinations. You have to decide which countries/destinations interest you most. I love Italy, so I would spend the most time there, take a scenic train through the Alps, and fly home from Zurich or Geneva. Others prefer Paris/France and can tell you how they would spend their time. Still others will tell you they would spend the entire time in Switzerland. There are no wrong answers.

1. Ask the editor to remove the report icon. This is not a trip report.
2. Start reading some guidebooks. Fodor's might be a good start.
3. If you really want to visit three countries, stick to the Alpine area of each country to limit the geographic scope.

With your parents? A small River Cruise on the Rhine, Danube, etc.... I haven't done it, but my brother and his wife did it a couple of years ago. They've sold me on it.... and I like to do things any other way than with a tour group. Ever.
Of course, it may be too late for a trip this year but maybe plan for 2013.

To be any help we need a lot more information:
How old are you and the parents (are they elderly, need help getting around - or still active)?
What are your and their interests?
What kind of budget are you looking at? (Switz is probably the most exepensive country in europe)
And doing 3 countries in 10 days really isn;t an option. I think you shuold pick 2 places that you will like and perhaps consider a day trip from each.

Hello Everyone...
My parents age lie between 40 to 45.. They are quite active. And I'm 23 year old. Its my first trip in Europe. I do not have idea about what is really exotic, awesome places in these countries. I was thinking of 3 days in each country. I was thinking of taking eurorail pass to travel around.
I prefer to see Venice and Rome in Italy, because I've seen them in movies and they are very beautiful cities
. I don't have knowledge about other two countries.

You probably won't have knowledge about the other two countries even if you visit them on this rather impossible itinerary. You haven't taken into account how much time it takes to get from one country to another and get settled in. I think a bus tour of some kind might be best if this really is what you want to do. Even then, you will essentially just be driving by most things.
