anything complex would be better than just an individual ticket!

It is often cheaper to buy individual tickets rather than a Eurail pass. Especially, if you’ll be taking the faster trains that require an extra reservation/supplemental fee and/or are able to take advantage of discounts by buying individual tickets in advance.

You can check the prices for individual tickets at: https://www.bahn.com/i/view/index.shtml (Germany) , https://www.sbb.ch/en/home.html (Switzerland)

You just need to put together your tentative itinerary and check the different trains. Add up the prices for the individual tickets and compare to the price of the pass plus all required supplements.
