What I liked about my Swiss train ticket was you are allowed to get on and
off the train along the way for no extra charge. So I did an hour in Thun,
two hours in Spietz, and I should have given Brienz an hour or two, but I
didn't realize it was a town worth visiting until the train was leaving.
(An unexpected trip, so I was planning the trip as I was going along.)
Another stop I did not do was an hour in Zug. This one the OP could do, as
it is between Zurich and Lucerne. And Brienz is between Interlaken and
Lucerne.
All train stations have lockers where you can leave your luggage while you
give the town a couple hours.
When I say one or two hours, I mean exactly one or two hours.

Seems a bit of going back and forth. I did a loop of Zurich, Soloturn (half
day), Berne, Thun, Spietz, Interlaken (a few hours), Lucerne, airport. I
bought one round trip ticket from Zurich using this route.

You can easily spend your last night in Lucerne and go directly to the
airport from there.

Jungfraujoch on December 29? Be prepared that it will be very, very cold up
there. Something like minus twenty degrees centigrade, plus strong winds.

Why back to Zurich in between? I would go to Lucerne directly and spend a
night in Lucerne. You can still see Zurich on the last day, imho you should
spend more time around Lucerne, it's much more scenic than Zurich.

A Swiss Pass pays for buses and boats as well as trains. (We took the boat
from Interlaken to Brienz and a bus to the Open Air Museum, which is well
worth visiting.) But the Swiss Pass doesn't cover the full cost of privately
owned railways such as the Jungfrau one. It does offer a discount on these
railways.
Swiss Passes are expensive, but we bought one after my husband used Excel to
compute the savings. We had to do it 3 times before we believed the result.
