Anyone have a recommendation on travel itinerary for southern Germany/eastern France/Switzerland/Luxembourg?

Day 1 - Arrive Frankfurt, drive to Heidelberg. See castle ruins, visit the Red Ox pub. Stay the night in Heidelberg.
Day 2 - Drive to Munich. Visit Dachau early, then later eat and drink in the Hofbrauhaus. If there's time, visit the Frauenkirche and also see the Glockenspiel. Stay the night in Munich.
Day 3 - Drive down to Neuschwanstein castle and see both it and Linderhof. Stay the night in nearby Garmisch for a wonderful Alpine village experience, at the foot of Germany's highest peak in the Alps, the Zugspitze.
Day 4 - Drive east to Salzburg and see Mozart's birth home and some of the Sound of Music locations. Stay tne night in Salzburg.
Day 5 - Drive back toward Frankfurt. Stop in Rothenburg for a cool medieval walled city (Dinkelsbuhl also is great, and less touristy, but a bit further south. Drive back to Frankfurt in the evening, stay the night near the airport somewhere.
Day 5.5 - Hop on plane home.

This is a lot of driving, but if you were to do this itinerary it makes more sense to swap days 3 and 4. Don't head west of Munich for the Allgaeu to then turn around and go east of Munich for Salzburg, to turn around once more and go back north west of Munich.
