I'll be traveling:
Zurich-Interlaken
Interlaken-Montreux
Montreux-Geneva

Thanks!
I wouldn't bother with reservations. Zürich-Bern is sometimes good to have reservations if you've got a number of people together on a rush-hour train, but otherwise you should find a seat. You can probably just download the SBB app and make reservations over that if you're on a rush-hour train and have a number of people together.
