Nice problem to have! I hope you have fun. Have you considered German cities - Berlin is very popular with young Brits (I’m told). I don’t know your interests, but world class museums, Charlottenburg Schloss or Potsdam (simple public transport) for Frederick the Great Palaces, WW II sites, etc, etc. Not the charm of Prague or some of the other cities you’ve mentioned since it was so heavily bombed and re-built, but an easy city to explore with very helpful, friendly locals. I did not check air or train from Zurich. Also not clear if you are returning to the states from your mother/daughter destination or going back to Zurich, so don’t know how it would impact your personal plans. Another idea - Budapest is wonderful and 3 days is great. Beautiful city just for wandering - whereas Berlin is maybe more for planning.

For fun and the “dream on” factor, I looked at today’s Zurich Airport departures. Lots of choices, but then I didn’t get into the analysis of budget vs non-budget airlines - which I fully understand and appreciate or analyze schedules. But - if we haven’t come up with the ideal for you, that might be an easy way to “shop”.
