The ECs Milan-Switzerland can't be reserved for domestic journeys in Switzerland.
EC 18 has a second trainset that is closed (most of the times) between Milan and Chiasso:

There should be plenty of space there.
+6Seat rsservations on Swiss domestic intercity's are possible (buy through SBB.ch if CD.cz/oebb.at/bahn.de are not able to sell them) but they are not really necessary: most people don't reserve seats. Simply find an unreserved seat.
The journey you have listed is however an Eurocity from Milan. In some journeys they add an extra trainset in Chiasso, otherwise the train might be crowded.
