Is a train the best way from Dresden to Munich and back?
Your plan includes quite a lot of travel. BOS-AMS-TXL/SXF-ORY in a row. 3 nights there and back to Berlin, then train to Dresden. Next day 6 hours by train to Munich, back after 2-3 nights to Dresden and immediately on to Berlin and next day TXL-AMS-BOS.
It's up to you but I would strongly suggest to stay in Dresden for the time in between. Much to do and to see. If you are tired of Dresden the river Elbe valley is nice (even in November), take a day trip to the Elbsandsteingebirge (very scenic mountains, 30 min) or Prague (2:18 by train).
