Thank your very much for all your replies. Im very sorry that my question is very brief and sorry i use wrong words. My english is not good.

Im from Malaysia. For each trip, each year i can take 2 weeks leave from job. Plus the weekends will have 16 days in total including flights.

I would love to travel many times to Europe, explore each country but being from country that is smaller currency, i try to make the most if what my savings can afford.

I will remove Denmark and Poland. For UK, we have friend there, can bring us around. After read the replies, country that most want to visit is France, Switzerland and Austria. We are ok for anything heritage and important landmark of the country. Understand we will not be able to see everything. I have 3 friend that will be coming with me.

Thank you very much again.

<country that most want to visit is France, Switzerland and Austria>

That would make a fine first trip.

You couldn't see the entire countries but in 16 days times (2 weeks on the ground in Europe) you could go to:

Paris / Geneva or Zurich area / Vienna. Fly into Paris and out of Vienna. Take the train in between cities.

If you have now narrowed it down to France, Switzerland and Austria, now is the time to look at the guidebooks and see where you want to go in those countries and how you could combine them to make a sensible itinerary. [that's something people here are really good at if you want some help with that].

Don't be too ambitious - moving from one place to another takes time and energy - think in terms of where you would like to base yourselves for a few days and then where you would move on to. in 14 days, 3-4 bases will probably be enough.

But it seems the OP is also visiting friends in the UK, so that would be four countries in 14 days.

Sounds like you will be moving around a lot by train with that ambitious wish - fine go for it - consider looking at Eurail Select Flexipasses for X number of days of unlimited train travel over a 15-day period- most of your countries allows you to just hop on any train anytime -full flexibility.
