A pass won't be worth it.

Trains are almost already full on 13th May between Paris and Amsterdam…

- 150€ per person for the direct train OR

- 75€ Thalys Paris - Brussels 07:55 - 09:17 and then 36.50€ for any IC train between Brussels and Amsterdam (runs hourly at xx:44)

Thalys.com and nsinternational.com to book

Prague - Budapest -> cd.cz

Zakopane (?) - Warsaw -> intercity.pl

Just for those 3 journeys the purchase cost of advance tickets would be about £200. If you have other transport already arranged between these 3 journeys then a pass would not be needed, and there would be a cheaper routing from Paris to Amsterdam with changes that could work out cheaper than the £140 showing for Thalys direct.
