Seriously, the train ride between Prague and Vienna is pretty short and both cities are breathtaking. Vienna is just TOP for sitting outside Cafe's, watching girls, drinking beer, taking in the culture, going to theatres/concerts.
Fly into Vienna, train to Prague, train to Berlin, from Berlin to Paris and then to London. I think that sounds like a great trip.
I like this suggestion although you may also have better luck (and lower $) if you fly into Frankfurt and go from there. If you can get to Salzburg while you're in Austria, you'll thank yourself many times over. Do try to get to Vienna though!
Many people will often say Paris has rude, obnoxious people. My experience was just the opposite. Of course, Paris is a big city and, like any big city, people tend to mind to themselves. They aren't going to go out of their way to say hello to a stranger but they will certainly give you directions or help you out if asked. The same would be true in NY, Chicago and LA (and I lived in Chi & LA before moving to the land of happy people in Tulsa.)
I would strongly urge you to learn a handful of phrases for each foreign-speaking country you visit. Start off with the basics of Hello, Thank you, Goodbye, Please & various navigation words (left, right, north, south, etc.) For France, I made the extra effort and learned this key phrase: "Hello. I am an American. I speak only a little French. Do you speak English?" You would be remarkably surprised how (a) stunned people were when they heard me speak, (b) how helpful they became and (c) people were very complimentary on my broken French. I saw a travel host on TV do something I would recommend as well. When approaching a person or entering a shop, say hello in their language and then make a kind, side remark in your language. If they speak English, they will likely communicate back to you in English. If they don't speak English, then they're not being rude, they probably just don't speak the language well enough to comfortably communicate with you. Try to learn something about the customs and the language and you will do well. 
Scotland is just gorgeous. My wife and I were married in Edinburgh and found it to be a completely wonderful experience. The people were amazing, the history is rich and the architecture is superb.
It's cool you're going to do some travelling. You will certainly see so many wonderful things, have some great experiences and soon realize people around the world essentially share the same dreams, enjoy the same pleasures and you'll be surpised how universal laughter really is.
