Anyhow, given that they only started planing, I think that discussing flights is rather premature.
My apologies, I misunderstood your post. Your point on the one-way is, of course, well taken...I was thinking train, but that may not be best either. I do hope the explanation was helpful for the OP, I know a lot of my friends and family members don't understand the open-jaw concept.

Also, that you for the details explaining the flights. I think we will likely be flying over on Delta and KLM, so I am wondering if I should try to figure put the open-jaw trip (as suggested by JBord) by contacting the airline directly? You all think that I probably do not need a travel agent, do you have any suggestions (websites?) on the best way for me to figure out the air, train and rental car travel on my own?
Thanks so much, in advance!
I would suggest starting with Google Flights. It's very helpful in allowing you to change different variables on the fly and see schedules and prices across airlines.
Figure out your beginning and end flights first. That's your biggest expense and hardest to nail down. Then figure out all your destinations. Book a hotel in each one...use Expedia, a hotel website, or whatever you like. Finally, get trains, car rentals or intra-EU flights. At least this is the order in which I typically book my trips.
When you think about it, you really have 3 steps...flight, hotels, transport...easy
. Not really worth using a travel agent. You will probably find some more interesting things as you research on your own.
Good luck with your planning, sounds like a fun trip!
