Zurich / Luxemburg /Salzburg/Muchen /Verona/Venice /Paris /Austria

August, in particular the first half of August is when Europe goes on holiday so you need to be booking places asap.

Zurich, why?

I you are doing Zurich/Luxembourg/Munich you could also do lake constance, the black forest, Mulhouse, Alsace and Mosel over the 4 weeks.

Paris would be a stretch on the above but just feasible

Austria you could just make the Lake Constance end of Austria.

I'd leave Verone/Venice for another trip and they will be packed out in August.

Weather is completely different in each place, on each day - and no one knows anything more than 3 or 4 days in advance - exept that it will rain somewhere. No guarantees, except you will see snow only on mountaintops.
