We can easily adjust days and would love to see some things on that train trip from Paris to Rome.
I'd stay a day less in Rome and an extra day in Venice - it's at it's best by far in the early morning and evening when all the day-trippers haven't arrived/have gone. You might also consider stopping at Florence - even if only for a few hours on the way to Rome. You can leave bags at the station and walk around the centro storico and maybe have lunch. Venice to Florence is only 2 hours by train and Florence to Rome a mere hour-and-a-half.
