My main comment, as is the case far too often with these "Europe in a month" itineraries is that you're completely failing to account for travel time. You won't have "1 day" in Brussels, but you'll have half a day, because the other half day will be taken up by travelling there from Paris. By the time you hit Bratislava you probably won't even have half a day there, because the constant travelling will have worn you out and you'll just collapse at your accommodation without having the energy to go do anything.

So... I'd recommend cutting at least a third of these destinations, explicitly putting the travel days into your itinerary (if you travel for half a day and end up having the energy afterward to go see and do things, that should be a bonus, not something you rely on), and then seeing what you end up with. (Also, less is more. Any of these cities can gobble up extra days without you running any risk of getting bored. Rather, you'll have a chance to get to know them beyond the same old boring tourist highlights, which should allow you to enjoy them more.)
