Also - note that you can book train tickets on the thalys, eurostar, deutschebahn etc online and attach a printout. My last trip was just like that .. 9W MAA<->BRU, BRU-CDG-BRU by train, booked online on the thalys website.
Thanks. I'm going to book refundable tickets on Eurostar. Costs 550 GBP per person!
I will 99.99% modify my travel plans after getting the visa so booking fully refundable tickets is key. At the same time, I don't want to get dinged for visa shopping. But I guess they only care about the most egregious violators who don't go to the country from which they got the Schengen.
