In using trip planner, I am trying to figure out how to break up my trip a bit. For example, I am arriving in London at one train station and leaving London from a different London station, and it is trying to plan a route from one station to the other (and I am not planning to use a train from one station to another). I am also breaking up the train travel with one flight from Paris to Milan, and the trip planner is arranging a train route for me from Paris to MIlan. Is there a way to not have that planned? Or do I just not make reservations for the stretch it is planning for me in these two situations? Do I plan separate trip? I might be overthinking this since I have not purchased yet and don’t know what happens when you commit to a purchase. Does it try to commit you to the trip you plan or do you scheudle as you want?

There are direct trains between Paris and Milan, IMO no need to fly.
To be honest, I never use the trip planner. I use a map and bahn.de to find timetables. Then count the number of travel days and see what pass I need.

You need to approach your travel as distinct trips. It sounds like you have entered something like “Crewe to Rome” and it has correctly plotted a route all the way for you.
Obviously, the planner doesn’t know that you are flying from Paris to Milan so there’s no way it can account for that in the route between Crewe and Rome.
What you should be doing instead is entering several legs (more or less for each train, but not always necessary). Crewe to London - this will have you arriving at Euston. Then London to Paris - this will have you departing from Kings Cross and arriving at Nord. Then Milan to Rome - this will have you departing from Centrale and arriving at Termini.
The app doesn’t know or need to know how you get between Euston and Kings Cross, or from Paris Nord to Milan. You know how you are getting there, You just need to tell the app about the train bits.
