I agree with Henry - it's just a few too many places for 22 days. And the cities are quite far away from each other so transportation would take up most of the time. I did a 3 week trip from Finland(Helsinki) to France(Paris) through Estonia(Tallinn), Poland(Warsaw), Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg, Switzerland (Lausanne and Geneve) and finally Paris. I spent about 2 days in each place (in total 11 cities) and it was pretty rushed - I had no choice coz I had to be back at work.
Anyways back to your question -
I would skip Hamburg since there's not much to see there. I would also skip Warsaw because it really is an empty city that's been rebuilt after WWII. It's a business centre so there's nothing much for tourists. I would suggest a few more days in Krakow because it's meant to be really pretty and much more enjoyable, according to my Polish friend at work.
Vienna was a bit boring as well unless if you go to concerts. I did Vienna in one day and found it too boring then went on to Salzburg the next day. A very very beautiful town where you can see the Swiss Alps almost everywhere. Very quiet also.
Budapest is a bit out of the way I think. Prague to Budapest is 9 hrs train at least. You can take a night train though...
I don't think you'd have time for Munich if you're going to the main 3 in Italy. I know it's on the way but it would just be too rushed. So let's see if we can come up with something here -
Paris (3 days) - Berlin (3 days, you may have to fly to Berlin from Paris, the train trip is long and probably including a change of trains in Koln) - Krakow (via Warsaw, take a night train from Berlin to Warsaw, then change trains at Warsaw Central station for Krakow. Warsaw to Krakow is about 3 hours. Stay 2 days there) - Prague (3 days) - Budapest (3 days, night train to Vienna) - Vienna (1 day - can be skipped and go straight to Salzburg, 3 hrs train) - Salzburg (1 day) - Venice (2 days - you need to check trains from Salzburg to Venice coz I'm not sure if there are connections like that. Check the Austrian Rail company OBB for timetables, in German though) - Milan (1 day) - Florence (2 days, even 3 days..it's such a lovely place!) - Rome (2 days)
So that could work but it would be quite rushed. You'd be taking a lot of night trains and that would give you some time between the morning till evening to do more sight seeing. (That means the '1 day' can be turned into '1.5 days') However, waiting for your night train isn't all too exciting and funny. Better now coz it's almost summer but in winter is a pain to wait in the cold!!
Youth hostels would be full at that time of the year because everyone is on holidays. If you can afford it between 2 people, get a motel room with 2 beds - sometimes it works out to be the same as sleeping in a hostel in high season.
I'm not sure about the EuroRail pass - it's too restricted for me. I do think, however, the Eastern Europass can be used in Berlin BUT check with travel agencies for this.
Good luck and wishing you a safe and fun trip. =)

Actually if you shorten Prague and Budapest to 2 days each that would give you more time as well. There's lots to see in those cities but you can't see everything of coz. The main attractions can be done in 2 days.

Ah yes, I was also thinking you can skip Budapest as well - it's a bit out of the way and that's exactly why I didn't go there last time. Next time go to Budapest and Romania and Hungary =)
