two weeks -- 5 countries -- and not a hint of what you are interested in or why you chose what you did - nope --- I don't we can suggest an itinerary. Or at least not a useful one w/o a LOT more info from you . . .

My first thought is that no - you can;t see 5 countries in 2 weeks (yes, I know tours do this all the time - but what they really do is insulate you from te countries and drive you around n a bus for the vast majority of your time).
To help you we really need to know a lot more.
Why these countries - what do are your must sees in each?
What are your interests?
I want to see every museum, cathedral and castle/palace. Some people want to bike/hike everywhere. Some people want to shop til they drop and have fou fou dinners every night. Some people are very thrifty and for others money doesn;t matter.

The way it usually works is that you propose an itinerary, after studying guidebooks and the internet and looking at maps. Then we comment and help you revise it.
And it's true, no one but a bad travel agent proposes an itinerary without having any idea of who you are, how old, what sort of budget you have, why you chose these places (too many of them) to visit, what you want to see and do while you're there. and how you plan to travel from place to place.

Clearly, you are at the very beginning of planning this trip. Start by cutting the number of destinations: you have listed 5 whole countries for 2 weeks. Count how many nights you will have in Europe. It takes three nights in a place to have two full days to sightsee, experience, enjoy a place. And don't forget you will lose a full day flying to Europe, plus time to recover from jet lag. Rather than choosing whole counties, choose cities you want to visit. If you have say, 12 nights on the ground in Europe, you have 11 days. In that time, choose not more than three cities. Personally, I'd opt for two cities and do a day tip or two.
Take a look at some guidebooks and come back and ask questions after you have dome more research.
