While I'm sure the Palm Express bus ride is pretty, its definitely not necessary in order to get from Zermatt to Locarno/Lugano. All you have to do is take the train to Brig and change trains there in order to get to Locarno. Lugano is just another hour on the train from there.
Heres a great resource for figuring out train schedules.

That is alot of travel. I would cut one day from Interlaken (yes I understand the point to see the villages around the area) and spend that extra day in Lugano. I also suggest taking the normal trains as it will be faster are you still do get a beautiful view.
If you do come to Lugano send me a PM.
