A EU First Timer - Suggestions Please!

Greetings all,

The title is a little misleading, I've made a few trips to Europe with family but with the last being in my mid teens I obviously wasn't worried about logistics.

At any rate, my wife and I are heading over in the spring on a 4/20 - 5/5 trip. We're going into LHR and out of DUB but I'm trying to decide where to go after the initial 4/21 - 4/25 London visit.

Below was my first shot at an itinerary.

London - 4/21 thru 4/25
--AM rail to Paris 4/25--
Paris - 4/25 thru 4/29
--AM rail to Munich 4/29--
Munich 4/29 thru 5/2
--AM flight to Dublin 5/2--
Dublin - 5/2 thru 5/5

Does anything stick out as a bad idea or look rather difficult?
Any suggestions on rail carriers and / or other times that may make for an easier trip?

I'm also a little nervous navigating the non-english speaking countries, particularly in transit. My servicable Spanish and horrible Chinese aren't going to go very far in France and Germany

. Any advice there?
