Hi I’m travel to this 3 country during December, from Italy- Switzerland -paris. initially I plan to buy 4 days eurail pass + 6 days SBB pass (first class seat) , if I purchase euro rail 10days pass (first class seat) for Switzerland SBB trains is it included first class seat also? Just need to double confirm before I purchase

Yes SBB trains (and many others) are covered with the Eurail Pass, including in 1st class.
The main difference is that the Swiss Travel Pass covers buses, trams + Interlaken Ost - Lauterbrunnen/Grindelwald trains while Eurail doesn't.
With both passes you get 25% discount on trains to Jungfraujoch (very expensive!) and cable cars to Schilthorn, etc.
Be aware of the mandatory reservations on top of the Eurail Pass in France and Italy :
- 13€ Frecciarossa
- 13€ EC Italy - Switzerland
- 39€ TGV Switzerland - Paris (10-20€ if you board in France instead, right after the border for example)
It may be better to buy advance tickets for travel within Italy and to Paris : tickets are quite cheap if you buy them now. Then in addition the Swiss Travel Pass. Make some calculations I'd say :)
