Take the boat from Friedrichshafen to Romanshorn, Switzerland. The train station is adjacent to the boat dock. From there, you can travel to any part of Switzerland. I have done this a couple of times. For schedules, just go to DB rail. The boat travel is a bit less than 45 minutes.

More to do in Murren for a couple of days. I have walked through Gimmelwald in about 5 minutes, end to end. Not many options to sleep there also. I usually haven problem with Rick Steves as he has his place regarding travel, but he over hypes Gimmelwald.
While I think the BO is wonderful, your trip to Lauterbrunnen will require almost 4 hours. That does not include the boat trip as well as the cable car to Murren. As an alternative, we enjoyed Luzern and Appenzell. You will use almost a day each going and returning to Germany.
