Driving north to Paris and then south beyond munich to Milan and Venice.
Also, Milan isn't terribly exciting - fairly industrial city.
Would suggest picking one direction and a few cities to spend more time in.

wow that would be too much driving for me. I stayed in Milan for 2 nights and wasn't impressed with it to be honest. You can see the fashion there, but Venice is much nicer with more sights to see. With only 5days to see everything and 4 nights I would make a decision do you want paris, or italy? The exception is if you are going to drop off in one of those locations, and not have to make your way back to munich.
I would jet down to venice after getting the car, and spend the next 2 nights there, then drive to Florence to the next two nights and on your way to munich on the 14th stop in Austria or detour to Switzerland. Remember you have to drop your car off by 4:30 to Harms, possibly alittle later with a call.
Dude I would like to see you try your proposed itinerary, and get a report back...... i usually slept in most of the time and got late checkouts of the hotel forthe time change and all the driving I did, and alittle romance made me alittle tired .

My two EDs were 4400 and 2000 miles. But what is your purpose? There are many interesting places much nearer by and will be just as rewarding.
I love Paris, but I say forget it on this trip... it's just plain dumb and the wrong direction for the other stops. Pick any number of interesting places (for the one day you will be there  ) somewhere between Munich, Switzerland and Venice.
On my first ED I did do all those places, a big giant circle around Europe from Munich to the Northern tip of Denmark, to Paris, South of France, Florence, Milan, back to Munich and up to London, but I had a month to do it....
Yours is not good planning.
