I met my wife on one of those free walking tours in Paris. Highly recommend it plus they have other events like pub crawls which are awesome.
My itinerary for May 3-20 would be the following, if you HAVE to go to all of those places on your list (it's gonna be packed):
May 3 - arrive, settle in, walk Westminster (Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey) at night. You'll do more walking and sightseeing in the next few days.
May 4 - do a New Europe Walking Tour (they have 2 in London - I did both on consecutive days). Do a pub crawl (it's Saturday night!) or if that's not your thing, check out Piccadilly Circus at night (it takes 5 minutes, then you get bored...but at least you'll have seen it!)
May 5 - do the other walking tour, or if you wanna venture out, book a tour to Stonehenge (which usually also includes a stop at Windsor and Bath or Oxford). It takes the entire day.
May 6 - wanna shop? Check out Oxford Street. Want to see museums/art galleries? They're all free in London.
May 7 - travel by Eurostar via Chunnel to Paris, but if you're on a budget, fly. Find your accommodations, subway to Arc de Triomphe, pay to get to the top, and catch the sunset. When you're bored, walk all the way down the Champs Elysees to the Tuileries and then the Louvre. Call it a night.
May 8 - do the New Europe Walking Tour (4-5 hours). Check out Montmartre in the evening (Sacre Coeur cathedral, Moulin Rouge)
May 9 - go to Versailles. Go up the Eiffel Tower around sunset to catch both day and night views.
May 10 - spend the day at the Louvre, then walk over to check out Notre Dame, have some ice cream at the Berthillon. Wander around Ile de la Cite and Ile St. Louis before ending up in the Latin Quarter for dinner.
May 11 - fly to Barca. Walk La Ramblas, check out la Boqueria, and end up at the Montjuic Magic Fountain at 9PM for a fountain show. Walk up the stairs to catch an amazing view of the city at night.
May 12 - Discover Gaudi. Go to la Sagrada Familia in the morning, la Pedrera or Casa Batllo (I would just do one, not both) in the afternoon, and then chill out at Parc Guell for the rest of the day. At night, find a bar in the Gothic Quarter and enjoy some sangria with live music (or find my favorite bar, the Dow Jones, where prices of drinks increase and decrease depending on who is buying what, just like a stock market! Cash in big time when the market crashes for cheap drinks).
May 13 - take a small hike up to the Parc Montjuic and enjoy the views. Find something to do at night.
May 14 - relax at the Barceloneta beach for the entire day. Enjoy the nightlife one last time before heading to Venice.
May 15 - Venice day 1: get lost in the winding streets and cross the thousands of small bridges. You'll end up seeing the major sites (the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Square). The city itself isn't big and can be explored in one full day.
May 16 - Venice day 2: more wandering. Ride a gondola.
May 17 - depart for Rome. Take the day/night easy.
May 18 - Vatican Tour in the AM, with St. Peter's Basilica and Square. Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain in PM.
May 19 - Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Forums in the AM. Pantheon in PM. Do you like Dan Brown's Angels and Demons? Check out Castell Sant Angelo (you could do this after the Vatican Tour too because it's close), Piazza Navona in the evening (lots of outdoor restaurants).
May 20 - fly home from Rome and bask in the experience of hitting up all those cities in such a short time. You'll be exhausted but rewarded.
I probably missed some sites (I just tried to remember what I did) but hope this helps.
