My 25 year old daughter and I are visiting Norway Fjords for first time this May 23 - Jun 1. You can follow my name link to see my Nov itinerary post; and wished we had delayed buying Ferry legs from Bergen-Alesund and Molde-Bergen as Michael suggested (it limited the flexibility on the drive somewhat). We decided to cut Oslos short with 1 night and we like to do a little more time in each location than your list of sights. This site has info on various scenic drives: https://www.visitnorway.com/plan-you...scenic-routes/
We focused on:
* train Oslo to Flam, overnight
* train flam to Bergen and staying 2 nights there
* drive Alesund to Hellesylt Ferry across to geiranger, then scenic drive to Hjelle for overnight
* backtrack some to Geiranger then FV63 Trollstigen scenic drive to Andalusa to Molde
* daytrip to drive the Atlantic Road,
I'll post a trip report after we return in June.
