AAEXP, thanks for the expertise. May I buy a train ticket in advance? On the train? Use a credit card? ... ?
And if you have a suggestion for an indoor activity in Odense? (I've allowed one extra advance day to allow for weather and flight cancellations. This trip is to plan a conference there in July and in July I've allowed time for Odense and Copenhagen sightseeing, with a list developed with the help of FlyerTalkers.)
I like Scandinavian design very much, would enjoy a museum or upscale household or clothes shopping, ...

The question on tickets has beed answered by WillTravel. Just before you go down to the train platform at the Kastrup Terminal there is a big ticket office where you can buy your ticket. I agree that reservations should not be necessary in advance at this time of the year.
In Odense the Hans Christian Andersen House is a must. For art and design try Brandt's Klaedefabrik.
Apart from that you have much more to see in Copenhagen in the arts and design field. I would not spend all that much time in Odense this time of the year. Funen is beautiful in late spring and summer, but not in January/February.
